market.Д«efore you head to Settings> General> Software Update to download iOS 6, it's a good move to first back up your iPhone to iCloud. I tested and installed iOS 6 using an iPhone 4S, an iPad 2 and a Retina display iPad, and focused on features available in the U.S. Outside the U.S., not all features are supported Apple has information here about each feature by region. For instance, the iPhone 3GS may be able to run apps written for iOS 6, but it won't suddenly get access to Siri, which the Retina display iPad does. Not all models support all features, however. Also supported: the fourth and fifth generation iPod Touch, the iPad 2 and the Retina display iPad released in March. IOS 6 is, of course, compatible with the iPhone 5, which goes on sale Friday it can be also installed on last year's iPhone 4S, 2010's iPhone 4 and even the iPhone 3GS, now three years old. (See a slideshow detailing even more tweaks and updates in iOS 6.)

I've also owned an Android Samsung Galaxy Young, which was unupdateable past 2.3 Gingerbread right out of the box.Minor changes include a new theme for the music player on iPhone, design enhancements to Apple's digital stores, a dynamic menu bar that shifts color depending on the background, and FaceTime over cellular networks. With that said, There are still thousands of applications in the App store perfectly capable of running on an original iPad. There are alternative ways not supported by Samsung to update yes but that's akin to jailbreaking the iPad and of course is not valid when comparing lifespans These updates are developed from Android Open Source Projectcode.

However, unaffiliated developers associated with Cyanogenmod produced unofficial updates based on Android 4.1 and 4.2 for the Galaxy S and its variants. In lieu of Android 4.0, Samsung released a 'Value Pack' update for the Galaxy S in March 2012 in South Korea, which maintains the 2.3 (Gingerbread) -based operating system, but includes new features from TouchWiz 4.0 (some of which backported from 4.0) such as face unlock, improvements to the launcher, the ability to take still photographs while recording video, and a redesigned photo editor.

Officially the orignal Samsung Galaxy S i9000 can only be upgraded to Gingerbread.ДЄn official update to Android 4.0 was never released, as Samsung felt that the Galaxy S did not have enough memory (RAM) to run the TouchWiz interface on top of Android 4.0. Most people change their desktop computers more often than that.ДЄctually no.

The First Gen hardware is over 4 years old.ДЄfter 3.5 years of functional life, and likely one more year with still plenty of apps supporting iOS 5 in the store I think its going to have a pretty decent run at 4. Nobody said you need to buy a new iPad every 18 months. Its still very functional to me.Д«ased on your opinion all apple users had better be prepared to purchase new hardware on a yearly to 18 monthly basis to stay 'uptodate'. I also don't think that just becasue it can't get an update, its immediately obsolete. But I know its limitations and don't expect it to keep running newer software after 3.5 years of life. I have a first gen iPad I still use just fine, to watch the news in the morning, a few shows off of PBS, Some games, browsing, email etc. If it still does what you need it to do then it still works and there is no reason to toss it out. With that said, there's nothing preventing you from continuing to use the first Generation iPad. Then you would be complaining about how Apple broke your iPad and you can no longer use it. I'm sure Apple could release iOS to first gen iPads but the lack of resources would make the iPad inoperable. Your iPhone 4 happens to have more ram memory then your first gen iPad.

but I cant see why the firt gen Ipad cant have this upgrade when my Iphone 4 is compatilble with ios6. The Original iPad just does not have enough physical ram and processor speed to run the newer operating system satisfactorily. People don't seem to understand that newer tech requires more resouces.
