iPad usage with multiple separate Bluetooth Devices simultaneously?

Is it possible to use a BT Keyboard and BT Speaker with iPad at the same time?
e.g. Listening to music on BT Speaker using iPad/ iPod, while typing other apps on the iPad with BT Keyboard.

Can the above be done on iPhone?

Or

BT Keyboard with BT Headset?

Talk over VoiceChat/VoIP App using BT Headset and Typing notes using BT Keyboard at the same time/ simultaneously?

Simultaneously?
 
You can use more than bluetooth peripheral with the iPad. However, it can only send audio to one set of speakers with AirPlay.

Same story with the iPhone & iPod.

Thats fine as long as long as DIFFERENT bluetooth devices with different FUNCTIONS can be used together.
