iPad’s Anytime Access to Social Media Apps

The much anticipated release of iPad last week has turned out to have generated a mixture of both excitement and concern.  One of the concerns is that iPad uses the iPhone operating system, which is not a multi-tasking OS.  Not only will users have to close one application before being able to use another, but the Safari browser does not have a tabbed interface.  Therefore, users will have to tap out to a thumbnail screen in order to switch among browser windows.
