iPad will get the full Siri experience with iOS 6

How can you judge ios6 if it hasn't even been released. All you have heard is rumors, so how call it nothing special or new?

I think testman is being very fair. He said specifically that "so far" none of the rumors have been new/special, which is true, and that he'd be "more than happy" to switch. What's wrong with that?

I think his comment was fair as an iOS user but we should judge iOS 6 when it is released this is a bit premature. If he wants to say he is disappointed with what has been leaked so far I can get that but saying that its looking like it will have nothing new/special is premature since we don't have a clue what iOS 6 will bring to the table yet. Anyway I think the major change this year will be the iPhone seeing that the major change last year was ios5. Anyway you can already get turn by turn nav with many apps and cook has already said there will be some cool things happening with siri. Widgets might be also a major change that I will think will happen since they already exist on the mac and have hired this guy who I forget his name but had some interesting ideas about widgets for the iPhone.

think it might look like that it eases development, and does not look so bad for me u_u

also I think what the rumor said about iPad users being happy with iOS6 could be siri

I hope iPad 2 gets Siri but I'm afraid it won't.

I think what they meant was that it is cheaper for people to buy. Apple as a company has always tried to get people to go for the newer, more expensive products that they release by giving them more or better features, which is why they might not release Siri for the iPad2. If Siri is as popular as it's been made out to be then they will use it to try to make people buy a new iPad instead.

I have to concur here. Apple is not known for supporting older products. I am surprised the 3GS has lasted this long. I would not be surprised if Apple drops the 3GS with iOS 6.

With that being said, at E3 ... Microsoft has dropped A LOT of tablets.

The tablet war is hot right now and only to heat up more.

For Apple to drop the "2" may warrant folks to get a new tablet; however, one that is probably cheaper than the new iPad and running a completely different OS.

I know Apple "claims" the reason why SIRI was not on the 4 (versus 4S) is because the 4S had a better voice recognition chip in it resulting in the 4 having too many errors. Considering the new iPad was released after the 4S, one would think it would have similar hardware and hence easily support SIRI. It will be interesting to see what Apple does with the iPad 2. To aid in their tablet supremacy, I think that have to put SIRI on the iPad 2.

Apple actually is known for supporting their products. iPhone's get about 3 years of updates after launch. 3GS from 2009 is running iOS 5.1
