Really?
I don't see it there, though I do elsewhere.
Edit: Ahh, I do. But none of the others so far.

Apple Releases iOS 6 Golden Master to Developers

Its the exact same file (generally). It's free in a week. Whats the harm to you? Or anyone?
I hate the holier than thou attitude of some people on here...
is it jailbroken yet?
I think RedSn0w worked with the betas, but only as a tethered JB. We will have to wait until this GM filters through the usual suspects to see whether an untethered JB is likely.
OMG It's the geek police, quick run or they'll arrest you for downloading a free bit of software a week early!!
Did I understand this right. The iOS6 will be available for the iPod Touch 4th Generation. Therefore, It will get Siri too?

If Apple gave even the slightest spec of a **** about people getting the GM early, they would at least require the developer ID check they do on the betas.
I'd argue that anyone who doesn't have the the basic skills to google where to find these things probably isn't going to be able to figure out how to install it. Or worst case screw things up and brick the device.
when you have the ipsw file, just cmd-klick on the update button i iTunes, and choose the file, then wait 10-15 minutes while it updates. You will not loose any data, although, it's nice to have a recent iCloud backup available.
I think it's pretty ridiculous that they support iPhone 3GS, but not the original iPad. They were still selling the original iPad about a year and a half ago. They still have original iPads that under warranty.
I guess when you buy an Apple product now, you can expect to be dumped from software support before your device is even old?

I concur. My ipad 1 is 2 years old, I would have expect at least 2 iOS updates at the minimum.
Now, I have a 64gb iPad that is no longer supported. Spent a lot of money, would be nice to get the same support the 3gs gets. .
Could be worse, many if not most android devices get ONE major software version over it's entire life. The original iPad got 3 - 3.x, 4.x and 5.x. That is pretty darn good.
How can you acknowledge Apple's support for the iPhone 3GS,
yet claim they don't support old devices in the same post?
Rather than being disappointed that they don't support both, you should be impressed that they support one.
If these were Android devices we would be lucky to get updates for the iPhone 4S.
Yup just like the original iPad even though its two years old. While the 3Gs is 3 years old.

It's not an android device, so stop comparing it to one.
I don't really agree. A phone gets pretty beat up in 2 years. An iPad is likely to last much longer, plus it's more expensive. I'm really more concerned with the passage of time than the number of updates. At this rate, in a year it will be completely obsolete and with almost no updated app support.
What this really means, is that Apple expects us to upgrade our hardware, even expensive hardware, very frequently. It is also statement about how poor the hardware is that they put in the original.
Since the GM should be 100% identical to the public version, I don't think so. I'll find out in an hour or so. In the worst case I brick my phone for 7 days.
Do you have to sync with itunes to get your music/podcasts etc or does it wipe them?
