why the heck doesnt ios 6 support ipad 1

Ok so i read and on the offical ios 6 page that IOS 6 will not support Ipad 1,.. the heck? there should be NO reason that it cant. Ios 5 still crashes a few times with apps for me and such would be nice to get the features for IOS 6 for it.

Its a total rip off and i imagine a marketing ploy to force some users to decide to update to the newer ipads because their ipad is no longer supported so what does that mean ipad support cycles are going to be 3 years or less depending on when you buy them? thats terrible....there shouold be NO reason the orignal ipad cant run ios 6 at all.

but whatever. i sure as heck am not going to dish out 500 bucks for a new ipad , the ipad 1 does me just fine, sure the new ones are faster and all but seriously.

thats the problem with technology these days you buy something and 3 years later its already "vastly" out of date. Well my computer lasted me around 5 years with an upgrade or two and ran just fine.......

IOS 6 should be able to run on the ipad 1 technically and its sad that Apple is deciding to screw over people who bought the first one. If it can run Epic Citdal fine then it should be able to run IOS 6.

think Apple should update it so that IOS 6 works on the ipad 1 eventually because i am NOT buying another ipad anytime soon i am fine with what i have and dont even use it all that often to justify getting a new one at this moment as i have a disablity and thus on a limited income.
