Usually not an Apple apologist, but... Even though there's probably no technical reason to prevent older devices from receiving these new features, I can't help but be quite surprised by the sense of entitlement everyone here puts on display. When you bought your old iPhone 3GS / 4, did you expect to be delivered Flyover, Turn-by-turn and Facetime over 3G after a year? Or are you just mad that after Apple spent $X million in R&D, you're not getting a free ride? The only thing that's quite annoying with iOS6 is the end-of-life'ing of the iPad 1. Which means that app developers can't move on to the latest and the greatest SDK without either doing a lot of testing and weak linking, or deciding to cut off old device owners. That kind of "fragmentation" is nothing compared to Android, though!
