Well this is an interesting one… Makayama have released an App called ‘multitasking’ for the iPad. That may have had you wondering what it is doing, especially given recent announcements for the iPhone – well, it’s about mashing up Safari, a Facebook client, and a Twitter client together!
They run at the same time (hence the name of the App!), allowing you to browse the web, while receiving alerts of Twitter and Facebook updates. The browser can work in half or full-screen mode – while in full screen mode, Twitter and Facebook run in the background, alerting you to updates with sounds. The three apps have all the features you’d expect, like tabbed browsing, favourites, retweets, replies, photo uploads, friends lists, etc. But why take my word for it, here’s a video:
So there you go – if you’re an iPad-owning social animal, then this App is probably perfect!

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
