Flyover is not supported in Malaysia yet ? hmm.gif
You will be very disappointed with the new maps if u do use them a lot, thats my opinion, No offence tongue.gif

If u r iPad 2 owner, i suggest u to wait first before updating. I updated my iPad because of SIRI, FB Integration as well as to try something new. smile.gif

I upgraded for my 2012 iPad

Found nothing really essential except the new Chinese Dictation.

And it use more RAM than iOS5, now in Chrome I hardly got 2 tabs running togeter without reloading

And I miss a lot of JB tweaks, retinapad, full force, nitro, no password prompt and kill all apps etcc

I have no idea why people consider flyover as an essential feature. Honestly, how many times are you going to use it?

Seems like you have more to lose and almost nothing to gain by upgrading. I'm holding back for Google Maps and jailbreak, Siri is not very practical in my case and I don't post much on FB.

I agree with you bro, IOS6 is indeed consumed more RAM than IOS5. I wonder is it purposely designed like that or it might be some kind of bug? hmm.gif

Overall Experience, Apple Maps is Disappointing, SIRI is nice, RAM Usage is higher, Battery life seems same, FB Integration is great, Still a lot of bugs such as Wifi bug, cant auto lock bug etc ...

Agree.

I doubt some JB tweaks or some of apps can run features of FB integration

For those with IOS 5.1.1 , DON'T UPGRADE IOS6 for this moment. If you does, YOU CANT GET BACK TO IOS 5.1.1 AGAIN.

If we update from ios 5.1.1 to 6, all the jailbreak will be gone, does that means our ipad will be totally clean without trace of jailbreaking ever happen?

Try "reset your network setting" on your iPad and reboot, it works for some forumer in here.
