No update is flawless. Most issues are minor and individual experiences. The Youtube and Maps issues are not Apple's fault when you look at it. Google knew that the native apps were going to be dropped. They chose to not release them and it was highly possible that they did so to upset Apple customers and get some convets to Android. The reason why Apple dropped the apps was because Google would not update the Apple versions with features everyone liked, so getting Android was the only way to get them. They offered upgrades to Apple, but the price was personal information about Apple customers. It is regrettable that so many people are having issues with the map program, but I have never heard Google apologize for any of their misdeeds, but Apple is willing to do so.

Eventually I decided on option one and took my dead ipad to the Apple store in Bristol UK. I arranged a time through the Genius bar and although I got there an hour early, they were quite happy to see me straight away. They were polite and friendly. The Apple assistant plugged my ipad into his standalone Macbook and within five minutes the new IOS6 had been downloaded. There were no hiccups and no problems. They could not or would not tell me why I was unable to download at home. They said there could be a million reasons. A million reasons is an awful lot of reasons, but there is plainly something wrong with this download. Luckily I wasn’t too far from the apple store but others live much farther away. When Apple sell ipads, they sell to anybody and everybody. They don’t say any technical expertise is required to update. They don’t say any special conditions should prevail before updating is possible. Updating should be simple and easy and failsafe. This one was none of those things.
Good to hear that option 1 worked, even though it shouldn't have been necessary. I hope you can now enjoy your iPad in the way you should be able to. The other option may have been briefly satisfying, but really not productive in the long term. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Apple had over a year left on Google Maps contract, Google scrambling to build iOS app | The Verge
Seems more like Apple made a stupid decision on its own.
I've been doing extended traveling across the U.S. and have been making extensive use of Google maps on iOS 5.1.1.
I had zero probs upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPod touch 4, but see no reason to upgrade my iPad or iPhone 4S. For me, it was an easy choice between using what already worked well for me vs. going to iOS 6, which didn't offer me enough in trade for giving up Google maps.
Just this past week, my Garmin GPS froze while I was crossing a bridge while leaving NYC in heavy traffic. People familiar with NY will know that that's among the worst places for a GPS to fail. Luckily, my iPad on iOS 5.1.1 was readily at hand and I was quickly able to fall back on it. For me, maps are important and will remain a key feature when picking any mobile device, platform or firmware.

I can speak only about Android devices I actually own and use regularly, and for me neither device has shown any crashing probs.
When speaking about Android, it's best to remember that the platform is delivered across a ton of devices, across many manufacturers, so having had experience with one device or another doesn't allow anyone to accurately make sweeping generalizations about all Android devices.
As you will see from my signature I have a lot of experience of Android devices, running many different versions of the OS. The main "problem" with Android, if you can call it that, is also it's strength. It is actually the reverse of the Apple strength/weakness mix.
Being open source allows many manufacturers to provide their own implementations of the OS. This is a good thing. It brings competition and inventiveness. however, it also means that the user experience varies across manufacturers. Some provide software updates with more speed than others, some implement the OS with more stability, some with more polish. This means that while an iPad is an iPad is an iPad. The same cannot be said about an android tablet. The Asus tf101 is very different in feel to the Samsung Tab 2.0 for example.
As an owner and user of both devices I can already say that the iPad 3 is the nicest, most polished and enjoyable tablet I have ever used. It is not without its weaknesses, however. One example is the inability to select a soft keyboard with a number row as a fifth row. I have seen requests for this dating back 2 years, but still we are not "allowed" to have it.
Nothing is perfect. Nothing will suite everyone. At the end of the day all devices have their limitations - part of the fun is working around them & making your device "yours".

Good way to put it. My iPad 2 isn't perfect by any means but it just works and does what I need it to. The portability, battery life, and sheer number of good apps makes it great. I can spend all day talking about niggling issues here and there about it. Some of them are even rather annoying. However, there isn't another tablet I'd rather have. I shopped an tried them all. And, I am not an Apple user or fanboy.

This update is a disaster, YouTube gone and much more. I can't even log off fb without the iOS sayin I'm still logged in its system... I need to figure out of to log out of iOS completely. Help ?

iOS is the operating system that enables all of Apple's mobile devices to function. You can't use any of these devices without interacting with iOS. There is no way to completely log out of iOS.
In regards to YouTube, have you downloaded the YouTube app from the App Store? The current version is an iPhone app that works on the iPad as well. There is also Jasmine, a free app that plays YouTube videos.
The reason that YouTube is no longer part of iOS 6 is that Apple's licence to include it had expired.

This pretty much sums up how I feel about the iOS vs Android issue:
