1st gen iPad and iOS 6

I'm a first gen iPad user. I don't understand why Apple is completely neglecting us. I can understand holding off on the cooler stuff for the newer iPads but we are the people who helped the iPad turn into what it has. Atleast give us and updated email, safari and stores. Why not? Androids have had those features for awhile. Just give us the second best thing out their. Don't let your three year old product fall behind the pack of android tablets. We paid to much for that. This is an Apple product, people respect that. When people ask us if they should buy an iPad, we don't want to have to say "buy an Android, they care about you even when your device is three years old, Apple forgot about us."

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

There appears to be something wrong with your keyboard. Capitalization and the full stop key aren't working. Also, you apparently have spell check turned off. You should perhaps get these issues fixed as your post is difficult to read.

OK, AND?


I purchased my iPad 1 this past MONDAY, got it on Wednesday.


I knew EXACTLY what I was doing and had my own reasons for doing so. The BUGS have been worked out of iPad 1, I got a 64gb, wifi - 36 for $275 TOTAL including S&H. I was not going to pay THREE TIMES PLUS that for a iPad 3 with potential issues.


I don't care if the technology left me behind, it does EVERYTHING I am interested in doing at this point, when it doesn't, I WILL UPGRADE and again PAY SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN NEW PRICE. : )

Well done... some of us got on board at the start or close to it... some have invested a great deal of funds and time to apple... i do have multible ios devices all on the same account, but i worry that furture update to apps may cause problems... soooooooo, why not take the first gen ipad "off line"... im interested to see what this machine can do if allowed... Just a thought.
