As for the iPad 1, probably no chance.

No way will the 3GS get ANY form of iOS 6. Whereas the iPad is perfectly capable of it.

iOS6 will be the last update for the iPhone 3GS and iPad. Remember iPad launched with 3.2 only because 4.0 wasn't ready yet.

If they continue to sell the iPhone 3GS until summer or fall this year then you can bet it'll get iOS6

How? Why? I'd take a few people being all whiny and upset that Apple is "abandoning them" because their 3GS' can't get iOS 6 than many, MANY more people being all whiny and upset that iOS 6's performance is absolutely, horrendously terrible (notice no quotes) on their 3GS'.

1. You guys gotta get a new editor. (Way too many typos lately!)
2. I hope we get a 4s battery life fix. (I find it strange that nobody has been talking about the battery life issues on the 4s. (maybe it's somewhere in the forums, but I think it's bigger than that)).
3. I love Belgian beer
4. And when are we getting that first SIRI update everyone was talking about? (How Siri would be constantly updated to be smarter and stuff)

That would be on the server side not on the client side.

My 4S was chewing through its battery in less than a day and running quite hot. Fixed it by changing all 3 exchange accounts to only sync the last month of mail. Now getting 48hrs per charge. From other responses it appears that various apps can cause an error loop which uses lots of CPU cycles.

Hoping it will understand Scottish accents (doubtful) \

Any fixes to the music player app? 5.0 was a huge downgrade, tons of bugs and missing features, especially the iPad version.

So far no word if it has been improved at all, it's surprising they shipped something so bad and even more so that they've let it go this long without any fixes.

This absolutely happens. I filed a bug on this. Multiple reports on Apple forums. It's happened to me on this site. Sometime a refresh will clear it up. Other times, I have to manually clear the Safari cache.

I really hope that this fixes the battery life problems on my iPhone 4. I've been recharging the phone 3 or 4 times a day ever since IOS 5 came out. I don't know how long the battery will last at this rate.
