iOS 6 is only for the small hand held i-Devices.

Not the iMac, although there a number of updates which have come live as of last night. Mountain Lion update 10.8.2 should be publicly available from the MAS, Mac App Store, together with iPhoto and depending on what software you run a variety of other updates.

Nothing earth shattering unless your life revolves around FaceBook. Minor improvements, Save As is back, almost the same but be careful about the tick box until you have got used to it. Safari is still quitting unexpectedly from time to time, but I got used to that now. Everything else seems stable enough.

done both the i-mac and i-pad as a matter of course ian ,you only have to miss one upgrade and your wallowing .
not very impressed with apples map system on there so far but thats the only niggle ,but safari on the i-mac does seem to run smoother ,i am on lion at the moment but hopefully will upgrade to mountain lion shortly (as soon as my lad has the time in fact) both upgrades to iOS-6 take a fair bit of time to download ,but its free so go for it

I haven't used iOS6 yet but will be soon. I would go for it.

As for Mountain Lion I have been using it daily since the beta was released on all my Macs apart from those which are too old of course. I haven't had any real issues with it. It's fairly well sorted now.

IOS 6 is fine. The changes really don't change too much.

For me the most terrific thing is that Reminders now works across the platforms and I can ditch my 3P todo list :-)

There are a bunch of little things but as Robert says, unless you use facebook and twitter a lot, they are all pretty secondary.

One really cool feature is Passbook, but it is a case of the chicken and the egg - a great concept of having all your cards and passes in an app, but there are no cards an passes ready for it yet... But BRACE YOURSELF :-) !!!

I would do all the upgrades Iain... I have and they all work fine.

I upgraded my iPhone 4s. No problems. One bit of coolness - it adds a panorama feature to the Camera app.
