Apps How to run multiple apps sharing the same screen simultaneously?

HI all,

Am new to android.
I guess the title says it all :)

i have a requirement where i need to run multiple applications simultaneously sharing the same screen space at one time.
For Ex. one part of the screen might be displaying a youtube video, while to right of it, the user might be chatting with his friend, and below some application download progress...

In Short, different applications sharing same screen.
I guess this has already been done as i when i google for droid tablets, i can see images that show multiple apps running simultaneously, displayed side-by-side to each other.

Can anyone guide me on how it can be done and if i can simulate it on ADT and AVD?

Thanks in advance.
