    Switching between Apps

    Other than double tapping on the home button and the tapping on the second open program is there any way to switch from one app to second app (for example switching back and forth between Dropbox and Goodreader). Thanks

    You could enable the gestures [that first showed up in the beta of iOS 4.3).

    And, you can do this on a stock (e.g. non jail broken) ipad. Take a look at this thread to see how people have changed their iPads:

    If you're jail broken, there are other methods, but this'll start you off.

    Thanks for the help. Is this the same stuff Apple is supposed to have in OS 5 in the fall.

    Can someone help me switch between English and Arabic keyboards on my iPad. I just downloaded the Arabic keyboard, but stuck. Thanks.

    'Settings', 'General', 'Keyboard', 'International Keyboard' if you want to delete one of them. If you want to switch back and forth between them then there's a button with a 'world' icon on it on the bottom row of the on-screen keyboard next to the space bar that allows you to swap backwards and forwards.
