Any concerns updating iPad to iOS6? Mapping?

[Tonka Boater]

Youtube is probably the most used app on my 3 yr olds ipad. The new software did get rid of the youtube app, but you can just go to youtube directly from safari and get the same experience. Unfortunately this is too much of a task fr a 3 yr old so it sucks they removed the app.

Google came out with a new Youtube app that is better than the original...http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664

The New York Times reports:

Google Working on Maps for iPhone and iPad

"People pining for a Google Maps app on their Apple devices will get one eventually, but likely not for another couple months or so"

"Google is developing a maps application for iPhone and iPad that it is seeking to finish by the end of the year"

A complication: "according to a person with knowledge of Google Maps: Google would likely prefer to release a maps app that includes 3-D imagery so it is comparable to Apple’s. But Google has 3-D images in Google Earth, which is a separate app with a separate code base from Google Maps, so it would take some time to combine the two."

I have an iPhone 4 and hit the "upgrade" button for iOS 6 and what a mistake. Just got back from PA and the maps are worse than crap... and it broke my paid for Navigon App.

I upgraded one of our servers to Mac OS Lion Server last year and that was a disaster for almost a year. I ended up having to buy a $5K service contract from Apple to fix their own bugs in the thing. It didn't become stable until 10.7.4 and I frequently would get from Apple support "You'll have to wait for our next release and see if that fixes the bug." Mountain Lion Server is really a bug fix for Lion... seems stable... they just are releasing products half baked for some reason.

Gary, I have the 4S and noticed no lag or slow down of my OS with the upgrade. However, my secretary has the 4 and the upgrade slowed her phone WAY down, almost like the new OS is too much for the processor in that phone. Have you noticed this with your 4?

My 4 is screaming fast. It sped it up considerably and the apps are more stable. My battery took a little hit though.

I had an issue with my phone last year, real slow, unresponsive etc... I took it to the Genius bar and they ran a software diagnostics on it and found a bad something or other piece of software. they gave me instructions to restore it and it's been good ever since.

Apple issues apology, WOW.

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized Friday for the company's error-ridden new mobile mapping service, pledging to improve the application installed on tens of millions of smartphones and, in an unusual mea culpa, inviting frustrated consumers to turn to the competition."

Sounds like MS isn't the only one who releases crappy software updates!
