Re:Why iOS 6 Just Turned Your iPad 1G Into a Paperweight
on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @09:51AM (#4601933)
hard to believe that my iPad 1 is basically obsolete in Apple's eyes at this point. In the future, let’s hope Tim Cook adds "2-year+ lifetime" to their long term product strategy.
Why iOS 6 Just Turned Your iPad 1G Into a Paperweight
http://www.methodshop.com/2012/10/ios6-ipad-paperweight.shtml
So why did Apple quietly abandon the iPad 1 with iOS 6? lack of RAM. the iPad 1 only has 256 MB of RAM. Back in 2010, that was enough to handle iOS 4 and the current crop of available apps in the App Store. But as the apps and OS got more complicated, and started running in the background, I’ve seen major performance issues on the iPad 1.

I'm pretty sure that military pilots have to go unpressurized to 25,000 feet in order to be qualified. however they don't have to stay there for very long. and certainly not as long as the duration of a commercial flight.

if you really want cheap, try making a Linux computer with a cardboard box, duct tape and Ubuntu Feisty like this guy http://www.methodshop.com/2007/07/cheapest-linux-box-ever.sh... it's slightly ghetto-fabulous, but it gets the job done.
