Considering buying an iPad and was wondering if users could clear up a couple of things for me.
1) I know you can use messengers, such as Yahoo, on the iPad. However can you have them running in the background, like on a laptop, and carry on surfing/emailing/whatever, and the messenger alerts you when the person you are speaking to has replied?
2) Is multi-tasking out yet? When is it due out? For me, I'm defining this as being able to have multiple tabs open on Safari, with something like a word processor running, and switch between them without having to quit either.
3) How good is mifi? I'm thinking it might be better for me to pay more for a WiFi-only iPad and get one with more space, and then get a dongle. I would very rarely use 3G, but I want the option to be able to use my iPad away from WiFi hotspots, should the need arise. How easy is mifi to use?
Thanks in advance for any help!
