Most likley available on the next iPad with possibility that the Air can run it too. Guessing they won't allow older models to do it.
this is not "wow" feature...apple needs to do better.
Unless MacRumors has additional sources besides the ones linked to in the article, this appears to be utter bull. The only thing they link to is a tweet from a random guy (as far as I can tell) claiming that he saw SpringBoard code that says it can do this.
He doesn't share the code in question that he supposedly saw, nor where he saw it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work on the retina iPad Mini. They have the same resolution, and the only difference is the PPI but splitting the screen won't make UI elements any smaller. Developers would presumably use auto layout to determine breakpoints for where their interface would go.

Smartphones have hit a brick wall in features. There is no more "wow!" for anyone.
With all you experience, you should be able to make timelines that make sense. If this was going to be released before ios 9 developers would have been informed by now.
Oh we knew it was happening, it's just when. I have a feeling it'll be in iOS 8.1 and not iOS 9.

Not in iOS 8, but in 8.1.

As far as I know, only Samsung Galaxy Note phones/tablets have that capability, and it's part of Touch Wiz, not Android. Furthermore, try using it, or ask how many people with those devices actually utilize the feature. Even on the Note 10.1 tablet 2014, it gets laggy.
they used to have lot of "wow" moments with good features...but not lately.
I don't see why they would talk about this at WWDC if apps did not need to be modified to get it to work. WWDC is about getting developers ready for new features.
I would also think, a four way split would be better. The text might be too small to read, but the geometry would work out right.
