ios6 makes ipad a pile of dung

I agree about the ipad2 with ios6.
SWMBO has one, and downloaded ios6. Since then, it turns itself on and off with no command from us, and when we do ask it to get out of bed, it behaves like a teenager.
Your 8 seconds is lightning quick compared to ours.
SWMBO thought it was great until ios6. She now thinks it's a pile of ****.
Shame that such a potentially great product has been ruined with ios6.
On the apple support communities, it is made very clear that apple will not and do not support "down" - it is more like up - grading from ios6 to 5.
