iOS6

Looks like it's finally here and can be downloaded now (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/ios-6-now-available/) I will be downloading my copy at home after I backup my iPad 3. Reviews seem to be consistent with "Good, not great." Thoughts?

Unfortunately I won't be getting this update!

I have an original iPad and no good reason to upgrade from it...

Seems like a bit of an F-U to iPad 1 users that they wouldn't release the upgraded OS to them. They release it for the 3GS but not the iPad..

Cool I'll try now

Edit: It's downloading for me right now. It's moving pretty slow due to everyone trying to get it at once. I'm doing my update through iTunes. Did you do yours directly on the phone or through iTunes?

Hmmm. It's wearing off. I'll be sending you a small package in the mail. Chill it in the refrigerator for best effect. Drink it, it's nice and sweet and flavorful. You'll be feeling MUCH better soon after.
iPad 3, iPad 3, iPad 3.

Unless your device is jailbroken. Patience is a virtue.

I see it available on mine OTA but I'm gonna wait until I get home and do it through iTunes for a couple of reasons. Our internet connection is AWFUL slow vs what I have at home and even though I did a backup two nights ago and it syncs every night I want to do one final backup before updating.

Can you download the iOS 6 update in iTunes without your iPhone plugged in?

No need to launch iTunes to download iOS updates. Here is a good site where you can download all the iOS ipsw files. Store them wherever you like, use the shift key when updating and you can specify which file to use.

Simple and to the point.

I'll probably wait until tomorrow night to do my 3GS. One last blast before the 5 gets here. I suppose to horse me up beforehand.

half and half (ipads and iphones) some failed, some went through

Mine went through from iTunes. It was a pretty painless process overall. Everyone make sure to get your backups saved before the iPhone 5s show up.

Downloaded OTA. Took about 30 mins. Web Browser seems quicker (don't we all say this when getting new firmware/software).
The top where the time and battery is changed colors from dark black to a lighter color when browsing.

Took about 20 minutes thru Itunes. You have to have 2.5 gb of free space on the device to do it OTA. I only had 2 so had to go thru Itunes. Device does seem quicker on the transitions. Moving around the maps is fast. New look to the app store. I have several app updates to do now.

I tried through my iPad and it failed. Had to do it through iTunes (which I had to update as well.)

So far the best feature for me is the new podcast app. Finally I can subscribe and auto download the newest episodes directly from the iPhone. No more syncing every night only to listen to my daily shows a day late.

Started the download on my iPad (OTA) at lunch time. When I got home later, the update was done and everything was where it was supposed be.

I came home and updated my iPad (2nd gen) to iOS 6. Haven't really noticed any changes worth getting excited over. I guess I'll be more impressed when I get my new phone on Friday.

The shared photo stream is really cool. I'm liking that feature. My brother set up a folder to add his photos of his 9 month old so my parents and myself can see instantly!

Not liking the maps. It is having trouble finding my house! lol

I haven't had a chance to play with that one yet. How does it work exactly? How do you pick who to share with? Do you have to know their apple id?
