iPad 3 owners, are you liking iOS 6 ?

I'll let you know how it is after I restore it through iTunes. I dunno whether my over-the-air update messed up - if it's possible to do so - because the iOS6 download timed out half way through. I then reset the iPad, and went to download it again, thinking it would start from scratch, but it carried on from where it timed out. I noticed right away that scrolling was lagging, as was opening and closing apps.
Also, Apple maps is pretty dire. I dunno whether it's just me, but that's very laggy.

That stinks! I did the OTA update, things were a bit laggy for the first few minutes but a quick reboot fixed things.
I decided that since I will be getting the iPhone 5 on Friday, I won't be updating to iOS 6. It does have a lot of cool updates, but it's not worth losing my jailbreak to me. I'll wait until a jailbreak is released.
iPad 3 has been updated, absolutely loving it. Maps looks beautiful, but I miss street veiw already, siri is cool and the do not disturb feature is most welcome. Not updating my iPhone though, witing for my 5 to come.
iPad owners, do it now, no lag here.

I like ios 6 a lot. Most features are welcomed. I do have some problems with video playback in safari (I don't know about other browsers).
Other than Siri. It's about the same. I don't see anything else that makes it better. I think Apple has done a great job in hardware, but I feel like their evolutionary steps on software will begin wear people down.
I don't notice a difference. Maps is great and flyover is cool for like 5 minutes. But it seems like they invested and wasted all their time on Maps and not truly evolve the operating system more. It just feels like iOS5+

Siri is a joke.
I tried to dictate a note and it got many words incorrect.
I then thought opening apps by speaking would be cool- but you have to tap the Siri button to activate- so what's the point?
Just tap the App icon.

How do you guys use it?

I am pretty disappointed.. I was expecting to be able to use panorama to take photos and I don't see the option...I was expecting a iPad version of the YouTube app but there isn't one (using the browser). I was also under the impression that I would have passbook and full screen safari. First time I've ever been disappointed with apple software.
While browsing the forums I was able to ask Siri about stock closing prices, she gave me the info & I didn't need to navigate away from this page, I was also able to make notes pretty easily.

Knowing what features were coming for iPad before I downloaded and still downloaded, I'm pleased with it. Siri is always amusing when it doesn't work and helpful when it does. I love that there is the clock now. No biggie about the YouTube bit because that's an easy fix and the maps are alright. I was used to google maps so it'll take some adjusting but can't complain. Browser seems faster for me and I like the cloud tab feature. I'm still exploring but i am pleased.
Try Chrome. I held off for quite a while using it on all my iOS devices, but finally gave in. It's a much faster browser. There's real value in it as well if you us it on your PC too.
