![iPhone 4 and iPad 2 Users in Australia Will be Able to FaceTime Over Cellular Network? [Updated]](http://cdn.iphonehacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/facetime_cellular-194x129.jpg)
Yesterday, we told you about the new iOS 6 features that won’t be available on older iOS devices, which included FaceTime over cellular that won’t be available on iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G model).
But based on the iOS 6 overview page on Apple’s Australian website, it looks like iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G model) users will be able to FaceTime over cellular network.
While the original iPad, and the iPod touch 3rd gen won’t be getting the iOS 6 software update, the older iOS devices that are compatible with iOS 6 won’t get all the features.
Apple typically does this to ensure that the OS is speedy enough on older hardware. (No MMS on original iPhone, no wallpaper on iPhone 3G, no Siri on iPhone 4)
Apple has quietly rolled out a new Smart Cover for iPad, which protects the screen as well as the aluminium back casing.
We thought that iPad Smart Cover case with its magnetic attraction was a pretty cool idea, but we haven’t been that impressed when we actually started using it as it snaps off quite easily. The other reason it hasn’t been too popular with iPad users as it didn’t protect iPad’s back casing.
9to5Mac continue to leak more information about the features in iOS 6.
They’ve just reported that some of the new features from OS X Mountain Lion such as iCloud Tabs support, Mail VIPs, “Do Not Disturb” toggle for notifications will make their way to iOS 6.

The teardown of the $399 iPad 2 had revealed that it is powered by a tweaked A5 (SoC) chip, which is manufactured using 32-nm process instead of the older A5 chip’s 45-nm process.
The 32-nm chip technology make chips more efficient, which in turn is supposed to improve battery life.
Logitech has just announced a new case for Apple’s new iPad and iPad 2 called Solar Keyboard Folio.
As the name suggests, the Solar Keyboard Folio case converts light energy into energy usable by its integrated QWERTY keyboard. While Logitech claims the battery will last up to two years with a full charge, the case will use either indoor or outdoor light to keep the Bluetooth keyboard up and running at all times.
