iOS 6

Just updated to iOS 6. So far so good. Just want to share the first experience.

Update take around 3-4 hours to complete including download.

Map: If you use iPhone 4S like me, the flyover will only utilize one-third of the screen. I think it may be due to the processing power requirement of 3D flyover feature, which uses vector graphics. However, it is the mostly complained feature so far.

The 3D / satellite view is a mazing though it is still limited to selected area.

Facebook Integration: You can update your contacts with information from Facebook such as photo, birthday, spouse, IM etc.

Mail: VIP allows alert and highlight mails from a group of persons important to you.

One of the glitches I have encountered is that, the Personal Hotspot feature doesn't work with my iPad which is still not yet upgraded.

While it shows connected, the iPad cannot use the iPhone as a router to access internet. Probably it will take a few months to smooth the edges.
