I know it's hard to believe but with the jailbreak tweak os experience, my iPad air can handle 3+ apps simultaneously (have not tried games)
Yup - people blow that RAM thing WAY out of proportion.

Ugh. Do we really need this? It's the kind of feature where the idea seems better than the reality. The vast majority of users would never bother with it.
The iPad needs multi-user support much more desperately.
How silly of me, yeah, just buy another one.... Or I may aswell buy another 20 iPads for all my friends and family while I'm at it.
Err, no.
I don't want to spend another £209 TYVM. One device is enough, it would just be loads better with multi-user login which can easily be implemented with a free software update.
that aint happening since most of iDevices are for personal use.
Please. 2 apps open simultaneously does not require 4GB RAM....
I'm thinking we'll see some more Apple "magic" in how this feature is implemented. Will likely be highly optimized and regulated with respect to how its put into 3rd party apps.
But it won't be - or at least I'd be shocked if it were.
Just providing an option. Don't know how we get from 1 $249 iPad to 20....
I'd say it needs, at the very least, 2. And that's if they work on Safari to be a little less RAM-hungry.
iMovie on one side crunching a video file. Safari on the other with a tab or two.Please. 2 apps open simultaneously does not require 4GB RAM....

I didn't know Apple was going to start copying Samsung Tablets...

Well what about those who have kids? They just expected to buy 4 more iPads?
TBH if I was in that situation I'd forget iPads and opt for a tablet that does support multiple users.
And why is everyone so against this idea? I just don't get it! It would be a great feature!
I was half watching a favorite old TV rerun, and yet ALSO wanting to check my mail or read this forum at the same time.

You better believe it can easily.

I would love this. It is the only draw to the Samsung tablets that I see in the ads with the iPads. I went and used a Samsung tablet and while I liked it, I was unsure whether or not I would regret getting one because everything else i have is iOS. Syncing my motorola phone was never awesome for me and I regretted skipping an iPhone version for that.
I hope this comes but I am not sure how the memory issue will hold up. With the constant refresh of pages in Safari, can Apple's current iPads handle split screen true multitasking?
It's not a very convincing article, did you read it? It mentions 'sources with knowledge of the enhancement' and finishes off saying it may be delayed to iOS8.1 or dropped entirely (the click bait euphemism for 'never existed').
A feature as big as split screen delayed to a point release? That doesn't sound very likely at all, if they're doing it, it's done already and is in iOS8 right now being tested ready for alpha release in 3 weeks time.
I don't believe this rumour has anything bar some wishful thinking behind it.
... said no parent, ever.that aint happening since most of iDevices are for personal use.And hopefully multi user accounts.
It's funny that so many of us have to wait so long to be able to do these kinds of these with our devices. Yeah, way to go, Windows tablets -- you can already do this. And the iPad should already do this. But it doesn't make me or millions of others want your tablet. Instead, we wait.
