When you bought the iPad 1, were you promised iOS 6?

I just dropped and cracked my screen on my iPad 1. I found a place that replaced the glass for $125 and it's as good as new.
Are there better and newer iPads? Of course. But I'm okay with the (newly glassed) iPad 1. Re$i$t the need to upgrade every 365 day$.

I have iPad 1 , and it is not so much about features in iOS6 that will be missed , it is the apps that will run on iOS 6 only that you will no longer have access too.

my ipad 1 has been slow as shit since the last update, even if i could update to iOS6 i wouldnt, shit can barely handle iOS5.

I can't even update my iPod Touch. It won't install the latest and now it is blocking Amazon's Kindle app (that worked perfectly well with all my books until I tried to sync)

The only reason I am even considering upgrading from iPad 2 is to have a retina display for in-hand testing of projects. Beyond that, I have no issues with my iPad 2 for personal use.

As BattleAxe mentioned, and I think the real point is that apps you purchased to work on iOS4/5 are now updating to require iOS6.. like they're not compatible. THere are a handful of apps on my wife's iPad 1 that no longer work because she is unable to update to iOS6. Is that the developers fault, or Apples, i donno?

It does suck, but the apps you are using now you can keep and the thing does e-mail and web browsing too, it's not like it stopped working the day Apple released iOS 6.
Right?

First gen iPads on eBay are between 200 and 300 bucks I just looked, Apple buys it from you at about 100 bucks for recycling.

What apps require iOS6? I'm still running iOS5 on my iPad 1, and I haven't run into any apps that have stopped working. The only app I can't use is iPhoto, but that's never been able to run on iPad 1, latest OS or not.

Cut the Rope is the only one I can remember.

Still rock an iPad1, works fine for web surfing, I don't use it for gaming, mostly use it as a midi controller for making music.

Mine works well as video player and reader, mainly Readability and Longform. The only downside - you won't be able to update apps once they require iOS6.
