What?
1) That's hardware
2) Carrier restriction
3) Widgets are cool, but they'll be coming in iOS 6. (We have two already lol.) Status indicators not such a big deal
4) Apple's apparently bringing out their own mapping solution for iOS 6
5) Mmm, for the most part that's true. You can open files in other apps though
6)
7) That requires a smartphone with specific hradware for that though, no? But yes the software supports it
8) iCloud supports iDevices, as well as a Mac or PC, and can be accessed online as well
9) For now
10) I guess
11) No. Android may be open, but it's not open source.
So... you're agreeing then that Android is ahead?
Will iOS 6 bring Apple up to speed? Hopefully, but what does that say about them as innovators? Even as an Apple fan, I have to honestly say they aren't what they used to be. Like was said before, if this was a year ago before ICS came out, I'd be on the other side of this debate. Today, however, things have changed.
I'm holding my breath for IOS 6, and I'm equally excited for it as any other, but it really needs to be a grandslam. Many areas of iOS is in dire need of upgrading (keyboard, mail, safari... etc.).
