Yes, it was slow. Just the download took nearly an hour. The OS seems to be specific to geographical demographics. A review iPhone supplied to one of the office Geeks had to have its version of OS6 changed to the local release. I wonder what else is different? I know that Siri gives an error indicating that she can only answer certain questions if they are concerning the mainland US. No good asking her where the nearest coffee shop is.

I am looking forward to seeing what iOS6 brings to my iPad 2 and iPhone4S. It sounds a good software upgrade. |

No problem. I understand what it is like when translating thoughts to another language. You should see the screw-ups I have when trying to converse in Swedish. (Luckily most Swedes speak more than passable English.)

What is interesting is that the App store shows different options and available apps on my updated OS6 phone. Many that are not showing on my wife's not as yet updated phone. The new turn by turn mapping app seems quite professional. The downside (for a week or two I imagine) is the number of of Apps that need updating. I have updated fifty-seven so far this morning. |

I just finished the update to iOS6 as well. It did take forever to download. I love the improvements with Siri. I haven't had a chance to try out the other aspects of it as of yet. Will report in as I learn new things.
