The new Cards app does not support iPad 1 because iPad 1 has a limited performance for graphic, that is inadequate to process Core Animations used in the new Cards app.
iPad 1 also has less usable memory than does iPhone 3GS, that is the reason it is dropped for iOS 6 update; they do have the same amount of RAM, but iPad 1 requires more system memory because its screen resolution is 5.12x higher than iPhone 3GS's.
Sad, but very true I'm sure.
Most probably its Apple's planned obsolescence than a hardware limitation:rolleyes:
This takes the cake. Is THIS a hardware limitation, too??? The 1st iPad can't handle making a text-on-background Card??? Good thing I had the iPhone version installed on the iPad already. At least it can keep on doing that much.
