Google Maps and IOS 6 update for iPhone and iPad

Delighted that I can update my iPhone 4S to the latest operating system now that I can download Google Maps (for free as well- even better)
Prior to this I had held off from the update as I didn't want to be forced to use Apple Maps.  I like Google Maps and was pretty annoyed that the latest update deleted it and forced Apple Maps onto me- incredible!
There are some interesting new features to the new operating system- one of the best things is that I can now see all my flagged emails in one place.
I now also have an app called Passbook for boarding passes, tickets, vouchers and store cards.
Podcasts are now separate from iTunes and music, and I have an app to subscribe to iTunes courses, called iTunes U  and another called Find Friends.

Free engraving for iPod or iPad

Apple offer to engrave your Apple iPad or iPod for free

Apple offer free engraving on all their products.  Beware however, as you will not be able to return or exchange your item if it is unsuitable!  The resale value is also affected.  Also you will cover up the engraving if you use a protective case!  My advice is not to bother!
