Re: Can your ipad do this?
Why would I want to listen to music while I'm watching a movie while working in Excel and surfing the internet!?
​
...
​
Replace "watching a movie" with "participating in this forum" and add "configuring a fiber connection to a SAN on a VMWare host cluster" and "setting up a laptop" to the list, and that's what I'm doing right now.
​
I do the movie watching at home. And then replace the Excel with "playing WoW."

What, you can't multitask?

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

Re: Can your ipad do this?
You're doing all that on a tablet?
​
No. But your question was "why would I want to do all those things at once," not "why would I want to do all those things at once on a tablet."
​
And I could do it all on my Kindle Fire...
​
...by using it to remote control my PC.
