Hi,

I've just upgraded my iPad 1 64GB WiFi to iOS 5.0.1. According to the readme this should include multi-touch multi-tasking gestures on the iPad 1 now, but I don't seem to be able to get them to work.

Has anyone done this successfully yet?

Please can someone confirm how the gestures should work?

Any thoughts appreciated,
Cheers,
Dan

Dan, open Settings then click on General. Scroll to almost the bottom and you should see gestures. There is an Off/On Slider. Slide it on and read what the gestures are. Works here iPad 1 and IOS 5.0.1.

Brilliant - that was the missing part of the puzzle. Works a dream now.

I totally dig on the open-active-task gesture and to a little less degree, the back-to-home gesture ... the flip between tasks (4-finger left-right) seems a little hinky. I think I'm running into "gesture intercept" in some apps, plus I generally don't know the order.

Overall very cool though.
