That video is clearly fake. It is a jail broken phone with the iStore being a slide show. An I doubt a 12 year old kid has access to something only apple Employees have.
I am most intrigued by 'installing software on Apple TV'
this is probably the most exciting thing for me tomorrow, an Apple TV app store!

Like I stated above, part of the enterprise versions probably allow Siri (if supported) and/or iCloud to be blocked, for security purposes. Also probably allows a lot more customization for IT departments.
I more meant isn't the operating system itself different between iPad and iPhone/iPod touch in the same vein that there are sometimes apps that are not universal and thusly an iPad version designed more in line with the iPad's screen and hardware and a version for the iPhone/iPod touch? Or is it more or less the same OS just with a larger screen?
I ask because, if iOS on the iPad is entirely different from iOS on iPhone/iPod touch, then saying that it can't run on a first generation iPad where it can on a fourth gen iPod touch or an iPhone 4 means little as, by that logic, it's a different OS and one would be comparing Apples to Oranges.

That file is always there whenever a new build of Apple TV software comes out. It's always a pdf file and simply explains how to install the software using a mini-usb connector.
I'm also guessing this mythical "Apple TV OS" is either nonexistent or they are announcing a new tier to the Dev portal and it wasn't listed simply because the person wasn't a "member" yet.
IT departments wouldn't be using beta software. The only way IT departments would be on-board for that feature is if it was something Apple rolled out with iOS 6; though given their previous stance on Microsoft's many editions for one OS nonsense, that'd be somewhat surprising.
HAHA!!! are you kidding? I turned off iCloud as fast as I could.
Apple already screwed over iPod touch 2nd Gen users by doing this, so they could certainly do it again. Those users got even got less support though, as the 8GB iPod Touch 2nd Gens were shipped with iOS4, and never allowed to go to iOS5. People who bought their 2nd gens later got zero OS upgrades.

The apps do work, its just that Apple wants you to buy a new iPad to use them. People have hacked those apps to work on the iPad 1, and they work fine.
They hire how many tens of thousands of people? I really don't think it would take them long to do anything, even if it is "annoying".
To be fair, I prefer Snow Leopard to Lion as well, though Lion is growing on me and realistically, as awesome as Snow Leopard is, support for it ending is inevitable and fast approaching at this point. To stay with the platform and be able to run the latest version of Flash Player, Firefox, Safari and iTunes, it is inevitable that you will have to upgrade. iTunes is pretty good about being supported on older versions of the OS, hence the latest version still running well on Leopard. Flash Player and Firefox are starting to get aggressive in terms of how old the oldest supported build of OS X can be.
Actually I meant the ability to install my own apps, GPS spoofing, scrollable dock, etc.... you know, things that someone might want/need in lieu of having their hand held because they can't be trusted to not **** up their phone.
Right. Apple has really been working hard on getting your "average consumer" the ability to spoof the GPS.
I know, look at how laggy and slow it is... He had to wait a whole 2-3 seconds at some points in the video!!!!! The horror!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good - inch by inch it's coming!!
Amazing.
That's exactly what my Girlfriend said to me

It really isn't rocket science to let someone set the GPS coordinates. Or, even easier, allowing apps that do it. But nah, an "average user" might accidentally leave it on and end up tying up the Genius Bar line because their navigation doesn't work.
You said GPS spoofing. Do you really think Apple want's to open the door to thieves and other people that would use GPS spoofing to hide from the law ?
Outside of Retina display, it is easily my favorite iphone for many reasons
Long live the 3GS
Hide from the law? So let me get this straight - you think that law enforcement has access to GPS data? Who would they subpoena to get it? Or.... spoiler alert, since it's actually the case... would they subpoena the phone company that can provide tower data as the phone still has contact with a cell tower that - wait for it - can't be spoofed.
Yeah, you definitely need your hand held when it comes to your phone. Embarrassing. I mean really, do you think that if someone sets their GPS coordinates to the middle of the ocean that he/she instantly loses cell service?

"As you can see it's pretty fast. No lag."
No, what I saw was choppy loading animations and it slowing down and getting more choppy as he added clips, especially when shortening them.
As an avid iOS iMovie user it would annoy me to use it at that speed. Sure it's usable but it definitely isn't the experience Apple wants to give its customers.
Why is the iPhone 3GS supported but not the first iPad. It doesn't make sense. The hardware in the iPad is way better than that of the iPhone 3GS. I am guessing that all pre-2010 hardware will not be supported in iOS 6. To me it was a given that the iPad would support iOS 6.

The 3GS is still being sold, unlike the original iPad.
