This was probably just an oversight, as it was promised. In the meanwhile, if you're iPad is jail broken, you can try to spoof your iOS version, which I have done on my jail broken iPad 2 using 5.1.1, and I'm downloading it now. Just make sure to put the version back, cause it messes up the App Store. Bring up the BG:EE link in your App Store, then follow these instructions, go back to your App Store, and download. Or wait for the fix, up to you... http://www.ijailbreak.com/how-to/fake-ios-firmware-version-ios-6/
That does nothing for the files you're trying to download. It just makes the other apps look like iOS 6. Read the comments.

I'm actually childishly excited. And to think we were held back for so long just for the sake of iPad 1 owners. Shame on you all ^_^
