Remember that awesome Courier folding tablet concept from the father of the Xbox that Microsoft killed in favour of Windows 8? It’s finally available (kind of) in iPad app form, which lets you go split-screen on your Apple tablet for some proper multitasking.
For £2, Taposé allows you to do a bit of productivity multitasking by running two app types side-by-side. Of course you’re not running two separate apps here, it’s all just the same program providing different windows like a browser and note pad. But it’s the closest you’re going to get to running two apps simultaneously an iOS device; Apple’s basically decided one app per screen is the way to go.
It’s all connected up with the cloud including Dropbox and Evernote so you’ll be able to get stuff out of the app pretty easily once you’ve actually created something worthwhile. There are a load of mapping and note taking features too, kitted out with formatting and multimedia editing and creation tools, which turns the iPad into more of a general-purpose productivity tool – this might be the iPad bloggers new best friend.
After several Apple-related false starts, rejections, revisions and appeals, the app is finally available for £1.99, but check out the app demo above to see it in action. [Taposé via 9to5Mac]

Sounds like just a version of Android Cornerstone, http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
But then Android things don’t get mentioned until iOS has them, and then it’s Android copying apprently….
We all know you don’t like anything iOS/Apple so why do you bother reading these articles. Are you really that bitter and twisted in real life ! Don’t like Apple then don’t buy it… You even give Fandroids a bad name
Except it looks and functions nothing like it from what I can gather from the videos. Cornerstone is just an app launcher with windowed applications.
How long until we get an iPad with a stylus? One more generation? Two?
I don’t know what we’re waiting for tbqh.
I don’t think they’ll ever release a product that requires a stylus to operate, would seem like a step backwards.
I don’t think he meant ‘requires’ I think he meant ‘can use as an option for fine line drawing in art packages or for handwritten notes’ like the Galaxy Note and Note 10.1 can do
Well there are no shortage of styluses available for iOS devices, I just doubt an Apple device will ever ship with one.
There are plenty of capacitive styli, which are just finger replacements, I’m talking about a pressure sensitive pen like you get on Wacom Graphics tablets. There are plenty of people from the professional Graphics and illustration fields who would love a device with the Wacoms abilities but where you draw directly on the screen.
Good use of ‘styli’
