All eyes will be on the iPhone 4S queues this morning, but Apple’s latest iOS 5 update is additionally prompting a few feedback, as well as definitely not all of it positive. iPad owners upgrading to the latest version have discovered that their first-gen tablets in fact won’t get multitasking gestures, anything it seems Apple has quietly changed its iOS features page to clarify.

Unfortunately, the business is but to amend the UK version along with other international versions of the page, at time of writing. According to those pages, first-gen iPad owners running iOS 5 should be able to “using four to five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen and swipe left or perhaps right to switch between apps.”

As many have complained regarding in Apple’s help forums, however, that’s certainly not the case. Apple is but to comment publicly, but instead has reportedly been pruning a few of the more frustrated posts from its user forum and making the amendments to the US website.

Limitations between different hardware versions are common, of course, but owners of the original iPad are particularly frustrated mainly because, with an Xcode hack, they had the exact same multitasking gestures working on iOS 4.3. This appears more such as a decision based on positioning than you on capabilities.
