How to turn on Multitasking Gestures for iPad? I download iOS5 but Multitasking Gestures is not working.

Not on the UK site they haven't this is pasted from the UK site today.

Multitasking Gestures for iPad

iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen and swipe left or right to switch between apps.

Looks like a possible case of miss representation, unfortunately I am not a solicitor and I don't know how a legal action would stand up. It might be covered under UK trading standards though.

It is a bit nuts to be treatening to sue someone for something that they gave away for free. It was a major OS upgrade. Apple usually charges for an OS upgrade, so your device got for free what they were prepared to give.

Dah-veed, I think the issue is more that by following the representation on Apple's website, customers could do a one-way upgrade to iOS 5 and *lose* functionality they'd enjoyed for several months. I don't think any legal action would hold up as the multitasking gestures had been enabled for development purposes via Xcode, but I think it's a little insensitive to be dismissive of these concerns, too. If it had been disclosed at the time of the upgrade that it would result in multitasking gestures being disabled on first generation iPads, many people might have opted to skip upgrading.

Certainly mistakes happen, and they're generally covered by disclaimers. It may be that Apple erred in not specifying "iPad 2" on its website or the upgrade notes, or it may be that the omission of the gestures on first generation iPads was a mistake. Either way, it'd be nice for Apple to own up to it and provide an explanation.
