Hey guys was wondering can the ipad 2 with iOS5 play videos while looking at other tabs? I know its a weird question but I do it with my macbook all the time, and was just wondering if the ipad can do it yet? If I am not clear, what I am asking is... If you have a tab open with a video, can you switch to another tab and will the video continue to play in the first tab?
 
After switching tabs, open the multitasking bar, swipe left, and hit play. Music continues playing! Same goes for the YouTube app. Even works after locking the device: Hit the home button twice, and hit play.
