Nice job Apple! The features of 4.2 on the iPad are very welcome!  I frequently try (and never remove them until I deem them completely useless) various productivity and note taking applications.  Now, having “folders,” I’ve successfully organized 7 pages of apps into 3 pages using 5 groups for keeping things together.  I have to admit though that Apple IOS multi-tasking feels more like a list of recently used items. The media applications (Pandora) that run in the background process are truly a nice touch, but that long list of programs I’ve once had open does not compare to the fluid feel that webOS provides.  If I were to consider multi-tasking as actually doing two things at the same time, what would be really cool is a split screen on the iPad.  Since iPod/iPhone applications have a scaling dilemma on the iPad, wouldn’t it be cool to have two of those open at the same time?  And, oh, by the way, count me in on the petitions; I miss the hardware screen-rotation lock.

This is doing two things at the same time!
