Ok I have some questions if I may!

Can you get google maps, the street view feature on an iphone 3gs?

Does apple really have you by the balls and you have to buy every single app?

If I got a bill pay plan can you still get 300 free webtexts?

just.... well I won't get an iphone 5 because it's .5 of an upgrade from 4s but meteor are doing a decent deal on iphone 4s and I may, just dip my feet into apples crystal clear lake of awesomeness.

Just downloaded IOS 6 for my iphone. I am not any use at this but can someone tell me any of the new features?

Apart from passbook thingy I cant see any difference?

Basically it's faster, privacy options are greatly improved, some options are now in better places, better 'busy' options, Maps is updated but mapping content has quite a way to go to get back to what it was, and the Panorama functionality.

The problem is that Apple's deal to have Google's mapping content on iOS has expired. The smart money is that Google doesn't want to put the crown jewels on iOS rather than Android (no turn-by-turn navigation and worse quality mapping on iOS was their doing, not Apple's) but we'll see what they do. They may decide to do like their YouTube app and provide a Google Maps one if they can bundle advertising with it.

I've no idea what you're talking about. iOS 6 is free? And it's up to developers as to whether or not they charge for their apps - unless you're really talking about software piracy, of course.

I should clarify my last part, just I always got the impression from apple that everything costs money like if I want Divx player, I won't be able to cause apple has it's own player, that kinda thing, like is apple really restrictive than android?

Yes the Maps app works in Ireland - is now in 3D like having a mobile sat nav just put in current location , destination press 'route' and it will give it in 2d or 3d and with a voice, plus written directions - forget Garmin/ Tom Tom this is great !

No it won't, everything will be the same, just with the new software!

Slightly off topic but is anyone have the OSX Mountain Lion??if yes is there much difference between the Mountain Lion and the previous one?thnks

Depends what you mean is big differences. There is a big push to make it look and feel more like iOS, so if you like iOS and it's apps, then you'll most likely also like Mountain Lion. It now has reminders as on the phone, notes as on the phone, Messages on ML will now allow you to send imessages to iOS devices also. Also it'll allow you to have it synchronised so you can have a chat on Messages on the iPhone with iOS 6 and it'll show on your Mac with ML, so you can go and continue your chat. One thing I use is having some tabs in Safari open on my Mac and with iCloud and iOS 6 I can click on a button on the Safari browser on the phone and it'll show me the same tabs as I have open on my Mac. Lots more info on the over 200 new features in ML over Lion here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/.
