Hey everyone im new here and considering buying an ipad for my birthday at the end of the month. I was wondering how well the new OS multitasks. The multitask i would need it the ability to run music, safari, and facebook (friendly so i can chat) at the same time?

If this is not possible can I find a way to facebook chat on safari under some website?

Thanks a bunch,
Rager

You will be able to play music (either from the native iPod app, or a different "radio" type app) while surfing or using any other feature. Sorry, I don't Face Book, so I don't know what apps are available, or where to go on safari. Enjoy your new iPad!

You can download im+ or IMO to do facebook chat. They run in background.

thank you both. does the IMO app come for the ipad or is it just an iphone 4 app? the im+ costs 9.99 which is a big negative.

and lets say im on safari an i get a message, will it sound alerting me even though that particular app isn't running?

thanks again.

imo is available for iPad and its free

You can download the app from the iTunes store.
