ok. now give me a good example of true multitasking things you would do if you could do them on an iPad.

That is a futile exercise, since no one example in isolation can be valid to your perception of the "mass market" (and what is your marketing background besides being a passionate Apple customer?), and thus all such examples can be dismissed. The same fallacious method of dismissal applies equally well to a rather large percentage of built-in applications and functions.
To be honest, I'm not championing multitasking for the iPad, and have no intention to. Like a lot of people, I've come to expect very little functional capability from the iPad and would instead do almost everything that involves actual productivity on a PC or Mac.
