First of all I love the new iOS. Can't wait to have my hands on it. That said I think Apple has a big fail with AirDrop. From what I've read it will be restricted to the new devices and it seems to be mainly a software question and not because of system requirement (If the iPad mini can do it, so should the first Retina iPad since the mini is mainly based on the iPad 2).
This is a fail because AirDrop is a sharing feature, therefore to use it, you need the other to be able to use it. Nice I've an iphone 5 but i won't be able to use the feature because most of my friend are still with the iphone 4 or 4S. I won't even be able to use it with my ipad since it's a first generation retine (aka iPad 3 i think). My point is the feature is nice, but in order to gain popularity, most people has to be able to use it. Unlike Siri which had no impact if my friend had it or not, social feature in order to be useful need that most people can use them (both on sending and receiving end).
Is there a way to make Apple realise how much not enabling the feature on all (or at least most device) works against the said feature...????
