I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a backlash regarding Apple's decision to end support for the original iPad barely two years after it was introduced. I wonder if the folks at Apple are setting a precedent here, essentially telling us that the iPad has a supported lifespan of approximately 2 years. While I'm fully aware of the rapid pace of technology, Apple's decision in this instance will cause me to hesitate a bit longer before making my next Apple purchase.
Also, I'll be interested to hear from them why they've chosen to deny IOS 6 feature upgrades for the original iPad while allowing some of those upgrades for the iPhone 3GS, a device that was introduced almost a year earlier than the iPad. Of course, the folks at Apple have been kind enough to offer all IOS upgrades for no cost to this point, but if cost is the issue I would certainly be willing to pay something to have access to IOS 6 or at least the features that can be supported on the original iPad. Assuming the folks at Apple don't reconsider and / or don't offer some of the important feature upgrades in an update to IOS 5, I'll be paying serious attention to the JB community for the first time,.
