The new maps app is nice, however I expect it to be extremely limited if you are not in a MAJOR city. Especially with the flyout option, i fully expect this to only be available in majory cities. Also, i would love to have siri on my ipad 2, but although he mentioned ipad 2 will get the ios6 update, he did say earlier that siri will be available for the first time on "the new ipad". So i'm guessing they are gonna limit the ipad 2 which blows. Alot of new exciting things, but alot of annoyances aswell.

So now I have a question...

What is the aspect ration on the retina MBP like? Because it seems more boxy then the other MBPs which lead me to suspect its not a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution screen? Can anyone crank out the math and see?

--edit--

So I am getting 16:10. Same as 1440 x 900. Crisis resolved!

While I do like a lot of things a about iOS, I think it's a rip that the iPad 1st Gen is being left out. It's only had 1 Main iOS update, that's a crock of crap

Except the iPad first generation came with iOS 3 when it hit the market. So it did in fact get two major new releases...

8:5.

16:10

You just need to do 2880 divided by 1800.

So is reading on your part ? where I was corrected and admitted to thinking it came with iOS4 about 4 posts down from mine

I think I'll have to pass on iOS 6 for my iPad 2. Looks kind of pointless.

Until of course it's jailbroken and everything, then I guess I'll upgrade. Seems like a waste of a major version number for Siri to have a few new features and dump Google Maps.
