A video overview of iOS 6

I'm happy to see iOS 6 pulling away from Android even more. The way they removed Google Maps is a smart way to prove their point. I hope to see many more updates along these lines to help topple Google.
What point does adding less detailed maps prove? Google isn't going anywhere and neither is Android just like Apple and iOS aren't going anywhere.
I don't normally mind people comparing iOS and Android, but this was just difficult to listen to. So much seething sarcasm and undeniable bias. And to think this is from a "blog" who is, I'm assuming, trying to make a reputable impression?
Who won't admit that Apple is a little behind with some of their core features? Few people will deny that. Her cunning remarks about the superiority of Google+ over...Apple's alternative? I'm surprised she didn't attack Apple for not having a Facebook alternative. Not that Facebook is my favorite thing, but Google+ was hardly a friendly experience, at least in my opinion. Their hangout option is about as useful as FaceTime for mobile seeing as, what, maybe 10 people even have a Google+ account?
Enough attacking though. I do support Apple vs Android debates, and I welcome the competition. I'll even go as far to say that she is right. While it's a solid update for Apple, it's a lot of catch up and less innovation. That being said, I think a lot of Apple's innovation, at least under the Steve Job's regime, was taking features and making them work well, look right, and overall, creating a better user experience. Having said that, there was plenty of actual innovative breakthroughs as well, and the past couple iOS iterations have lacked many of them.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, this video is rubbish. It's pure pure Android propaganda and a blog that focuses on netbooks (Netbooks? Do people use netbooks anymore? Did they ever really use them...?) seems just to be looking for more hits to their site.
