The moral of any story is to read the story before commenting:

"...your 1G iPad will become little more than an expensive paperweight as new apps and updates to your existing apps start to require iOS 6"

Having an unpatched tablet connecting to all kinds of... "wild" and untrusted networks (as tablets are wont to be) seems a bit risky.
