How do we know these links even exist if they're not active? You can type anything you want and have it look like a URL.

This is the first I'm hearing of first-gen iPad support, particularly since it has been missing the last few days.

Also, booyah, Safari 6. 5.2 is dandy, but if they're jumping a whole number then they must be adding something good.

It seems weird to have three different iPhones but only one iPod Touch?

Makes complete sense, as it's a current selling product there'd be an uproar if it could not run iOS 6!

The first message is just telling you that the file exists but you have not agreed to the additional NDA/terms of use, which is because you have not yet been presented with the form that you need to submit, thus you have no session, expired or otherwise just missing. The second message is actually a more secure way of saying file not found.

Yeah, if they are supporting the iPhone 3GS, it makes little sense to not support the third-gen iPod Touch since it's essentially the same hardware so it'd be minimal effort. Without a cellular radio and fewer background programs, supporting the 3rd gen iPod Touch should be even simpler than supporting the IPhone 3GS.

Supporting 3rd gen devices in general with iOS 6 isn't out of the question since both 3rd and 4th gen devices use the same Cortex A8 CPU and SGX535 GPU so compatibility is not an issue. 3rd gen devices are just a little slower on the CPU side, but a little faster on the GPU side due to lower resolution. Since iOS 6 already needs to fit into 256MB of RAM for the 4th gen iPod Touch, RAM is not an issue for 3rd gen devices either.

Double post.

1) the links were genuine, it wasn't a 404
2) the 3GS will be around for a while

Which could mean that iOS 6 will be released before the next iPhone. I'm pretty sure the 3GS will be history after the next iPhone is released, which would make it obsolete and unsupported for iOS 6 if it was released in conjunction with  the new iPhone. Either way I'd wait and see what kind of user experience 3GS users have upgrading to iOS 6 even if it is supported as it may actually prove to be too slow or unstable like what happened with the 3G on iOS 4. Even if they do support the 3GS you can expect it to be lacking some features due to hardware incompatibility.
