At Last iOS 6.0 is out. Apple claims that it adds about 200 new features. The most anticipated feature was the Facebook Integration. Let us run down the main features for the iPad 2 :
In iOS 6 Apple ditched Google Maps and created their own Map Service. The Maps provide turn by turn Navigation. Another new feature is Flyover, this mode shows the buildings and terrain in 3D in select Cities and Countries (not available in India).
Flyover is a really great feature, like you get to experience the building in real. Traffic is also available (not in India). If you live in the USA or UK or Canada, Maps i a great App. If you live in India, it is absolutely useless. This is a big d(ow)n of iOS 6.

Facebook Integration was the most anticipated feature of iOS 6. It works beautifully . You can like apps and songs on the App Store and Post it on your wall.
It is also possible to share photos though the Photos app and comment on them. It is very useful.
You can also update your status through the notification center.
Facebook Integration is one of the best features of iOS 6.
Shared Photo Streams i great feature in iOS 6 with which you can share selected photos with selected people. You can comment on the photos, like them.
The iTunes Store, App Store and the iBook Stores have been remodeled. There is a Carousel on the top and the rest are the same.
