The latest tablets from Apple Incorporated and Microsoft match each other in a fiercely competitive spirit. The two large conglomerates have locked horns with each other alright. 

Microsoft had come up with its Surface that has a multitasking feature called “snap” through which users can snap multiple apps onto the screen It is a very popular feature. And Microsoft has even launched an ad in which tech giant compares its Surface tablet’s multitasking features with an iPad. Watch the add below.

But Apple Incorporated is said to be working on something even more superb. Apple is reportedly planning to add split-screen multitasking facility to iPad with iOS 8 that will allow users to run and interact with two iPad applications simultaneously. This is a nifty feature and definitely for all the nerds of the planet. And the good thing is that it can perform in a multitasking manner on iOS 8.

The feature is said to work exclusively in landscape mode, which allows for increased screen space. The feature /4/also be key to a larger-screened iPad, which Apple is actively developing for a launch either later this year or in 2015.”

But now that is all about to change. Microsoft is not the only organization that can play about with high tech stuff. Apple Incorporated has literally torn a page from Microsoft’s scrapbook and created a gadget with similar capabilities as the Surface. And that is no mean feat.

Microsoft’s Surface had multitasking features by means of which many applications could be utilized on the gizmo. The contraption by Apple will meanwhile be a progressive footnote to future computer science and information technology. 

The applications /4/be allowed to perform more functions via Apple’s broad spectrum of facilities. This new feature had been in the pipeline since a long time as the demand had always been there. A whole cornucopia of new features will be fitted in interlocking fashion on the contraption.
