iOS 6 is compatible with: iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5 -- iPod touch 4, 5 -- iPad 2, 3.

Are we really going to bring this up? You're as bad as that Katie lady who comes in here whining about SD cards and not being able to subscribe to Prime without a credit card to charge to.
Since the standard new Kindle Fire has the same hardware and screen size as the previous model, it is as simple as slapping it onto our kindleupdates folder and applying it (and if not, it's going to be VERY easy to modify it to do so since Amazon HAS to release the source code). We have been using these new TI updates made for the new one for months now, and even at 1.2 GHz which works smoothly.
Another thing to point out is that Amazon has totally redone their UI across all applications.
As for iOS, I hate it that we don't get simple features added to our device. iPhone 4 owners don't get navigation, we don't have mirroring, and we don't have Siri. iPhone 3GS users are simply getting the base iOS and will soon realize that they won't be able to take advantage of much and will be switching back to iOS 5 due to slowness - Which is a typical problem when upgrading iOS devices that are at the brink of getting deprecated. The iPod Touch of last year always lacks features of the new model to the point where you're forced to update. You can't even take advantage of the camera on it because it's that bad. How many apps on the App Store aren't camera based anyway?
