A few moments ago, we reported that multitasking for iPhone OS 4.0 is confirmed through reliable sources. Not only does that mean that we will see full-on backgrounding in the iPhone and iPod touch devices, that means Apple’s upcoming iPad will see multitasking at work as well. Everyone, including us, were turned off at the lack of multitasking for the iPad. How could Apple not enable such an obvious feature in a device that has the potential to support it just fine? Clearly, Apple had planned it all along.

This is the summer splash from the company. Multitasking enabled across all three mobile devices, and for those of you who were annoyed at the iPad’s lack of support for multitasking, rest assured, it’s coming. Just wait until iPhone OS 4.0 debuts.
