That’s right, if you really want to multitask on your iPad right now, then there’s a way. Sure, you won’t get any of that iPhone OS flashiness or ease of use, but hey, at least you’ll have multitasking, right? This video shows how easy it is to use Windows 95 on your new tablet from Apple, but it doesn’t show how to put it on, or tell you whether or not it’s a good idea. We’ll leave all of that up to you, because we know you’re smart enough to make up your own mind.

Basically, it’s running an emulator, and it’s bringing Windows 95 to your iPad. Nothing really beyond that. But, it does add some desired features to the tablet, like, as mentioned above, multitasking. Of course, it’s still just an emulator, so you won’t get the entire experience. Though, if you bought an iPad to run Windows 95, maybe that’s a big deal for you.

You can ask the developer of the emulator, KamaGames, anything you want on their Twitter client (just put a @ in front of the business name), which would probably be the easiest way for you to figure out how to get this awesome Operating System on your flashy new toy. Besides, it has Minesweeper, and how awesome is that?

    Unfortunately, the problem to decide is compounded by a commitment to a wireless carrier. We all know that the real-world retail cost of an iPhone 4 is probably less than that of an iPad 2, but since wireless carriers want contracts, the price is unjustifiably inflated by $300. If Apple would only side with the customer on this one, they would have been selling world iPhones straight out of their stores, to which we could choose our carriers and plans (and even opt out of those stupid mandatory data plans). free DVD to iPad Most people on both sides of this ios vs android debate are just getting WAAAAAAYYYYY to into it. THEY ARE PHONES! you have one guy on here saying that basically only dirty people buy android and you got guys on android sites saying people who buy ios devices are worthless sheep who cant think for themselves. i personally prefer android because it gives me the things i need. i like to customze things to my liking without having to jailbreak anything and i love the androids ui. some people prefer apples polished look and mac integration. its a matter of preferance your not an evil person for liking one over the other.it is truly petty pathetic and childish

    The skin is fugly! Perform a search for "stickerboy" on ebay looking for a far superior skin. Tell him, "soti" sent you! mp4 to wmv converter Like with computers, one should buy if you need one now. If you don't need one, wait. Thats "need".The next big thing is always coming. If you always want the latest greatest. Spend the time and money to see one's existing device and buy the new device. There are lots of people who do that and get an iPhone every year.
