Come on, you rly want to watch a movie while browsing the web? Or read email and searching for app? Multitasking you refer is STUPID. I have never seen a person using PiP on his Android phone. 99,99% of the users use only one app at a time 99% of the time. Its complete waste of resource to allow background video playback while you doing something else, because the majority of the people cant pay attention to two things at the same time.
Multitaksing, the way you may need it is alrdy in iOS, so stop asking for nosense.
FFS, even on my PC I cant type a email while watching youtube clip because at the end or my email is not correct or I havent seen the clip.
It seems you are 99.99% mentally challenged
If your brain can't perform, don't deny others the chance to use their own brain
What if you want to use the calculator to add something that came on an email or text message without having to go back and forth between apps? What if you want to post a Facebook comment on a video you are watching on youtube?
Come on, Samsung has been doing it for 2 years now and multitasking on Macs has been around for 20 years.
Multiple windows or even a smaller version like a PIP are completely useful and acceptable. Not everybody will take advantage of them, but they should be offered.
I speak 5 languages and usually text and email on multiple languages. I would also like to have a multi-lingual dictionary. It sucks to have to be switching international keyboards depending on who you are typing to.
A "language" preference stored with the contact, would help a lot but since most users barely speak one language, nobody cares
I bet you can't chew and walk at the same time, right?

To achieve what end?
Seriously I ask every time never get an answers. What productive end will windowed multi-tasking achieve?
To me windowed multi-tasking is the most basic, easy or lazy multi-tasking. It really doesn't do anything to help me other than to work around the system shortcomings. There are ways to improve information fluidity between apps for productive ends but windowing isn't it.
You don't get it. Multitasking refers to doing multiple things simultaneously. Apple's version is just a glorified App switcher. The memory can hold many Apps open at the same time but only ONE is available at a time.
Samsung has had it for 2 years and slowly they are dethroning Apple by incorporating useful things into the OS.
PC's have had real multitasking for decades. Why not have that feature on a portable device? The iPhone screen might be too small for real multitasking but on an iPad or when the bigger iPhone 6 comes out, it would be a great addition.
IF you want to see PIP on iOS7 already, use the control center, that's what PIP is. You see 2 things you can use at the same time. My idea is not so bad after all...
