Totally didn't see this coming. I was actually looking into Settings to see if it detects the iOS 6 release and only afterwards I bothered searching the net and finding out there will be no iOS 6 update!
But this is not the biggest disappointment about the iPad1.
The big one was how iPad1 doesn't have a camera and not long after I bought it (when it finally arrived in the EU) Apple released the iPad 2 which had a camera!
How hard could it have been to engineer an external camera for the iPad1 that could be plugged in via a docking connector? This way I could use the iPad upside-down and actually have is usable as a video conferencing device.
I can't even give it to my parents as a laptop replacement (what people imagine it could be) since Skype video won't work on it!
