The iPad had just recently received iOS making it one of the last devices in the lineup to achieve multitasking. But Apple had also said that the iPad will receive the iOS 4.2 update. The difference being software wise, most likely some glitch fixes and bugs etc. But one thing to note is that the button on the iPad which used to be the one when you can lock screen rotation will now turn into a mute button. To be honest I am not sure if everyone will upgrade because I like having the screen lock button rather than a mute button because you can still mute the volume by holding down the button which lowers the volume. But in the near future there could be a jailbreak which might bring that mechanism back. After all this change has to do software wise.

Another thing which was announced recently was the fact that you know that you can engrave your iPod Touch at the back with any phrase or sentence of your choice, you can now also do that with an iPad purchase. The engraving at the back is free of charge when you purchase your iPad on the online store.
