Touting over 200 new features and an updated interface for the Apple App Store and iTunes, iOS will be available to the following devices:
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- The new iPad
- iPad 2
- iPod Touch 4th generation
We've already done our very own iOS 6 preview walkthrough, but we'll be diggin into it a bit more as well once it is available to the masses.

iOS 6 update arriving on September 19th
cool, i'm excited to try it. As for the overall event, i'm up to the new ipod touch and i gotta say there is a decided lack of wow factor in these events now. With so many leaks and so much ios stuff already talked about i find these things lackluster. Though again not surprised as everyone's already heard much of This but i'm wondering where is the iphone specific thing that wowed people like Garage Band. i think they maybe they simply should have held the new navigation close to the vest and use that for a big reveal today.
I hope the gm comes out today. My iPad n 4s are getting a restore.
An awful lot of unsupported devices out there then.... I guess that means 5.1.1 is the end of the line for original iPad and older iPhones??
Any idea what time on Wednesday it is going to be released? Same as before? 10am PST/1pm EST?
