Android vs IOS ICS 6, Which One More Complete ?
Apple has just introduced a new operating system for their mobile devices, IOS 6. Many new features are present in this OS, but how sophisticated when compared to Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), which was already present?
Indeed, IOS 6 will bring a myriad of reforms than previous versions. But unfortunately all the features it offers is not really new, at least when juxtaposed with the Android ICS which was introduced late last 2011.
In IOS 6 users now can use the map to navigate to every curve alias turn by turn. Fun again, in IOS 6 you can also enjoy 3D map in an attractive dish.
Well, for Android users ICS maybe it was not new. On maps offered by Google users can not only offer a turn by turn navigation, but also the mode of walking, biking, and transit. Even so about the 3D capabilities that already exist.
Another feature that Apple introduced in IOS 6 is about the integration of Facebook. Hmm ... If the problem is probably Android has been around since a few versions ago, and not just Facebook, almost all social networking applications and cloud services can be immersed in it.
Besides the two features mentioned above, the following is a complete comparison between the IOS-6 when compared to Android ICS in a table. As quoted from ZDNet, Monday (06/18/2012).
If seen from the above data it can be concluded that what Apple has to offer tomorrow by IOS 6 was already on the Android today, especially ICS. But no doubt also if IOS often offer a stable operating system with better security system than Android.

4 Disappointment in IOS 6
Apple is promising a change in IOS 6. Additional new features in the operating system is expected to make a better Apple gadget.
Some developers also are treated to the IOS version 6 beta, just not all satisfied with the changes.
Indeed, in the event of Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2012 yesterday, Apple claims there is an additional 200 new features in IOS 6. Some of the features of 'hero' in them, deep integration into Facebook and Siri are getting smarter functionality.
But that was not enough, according to technology analyst Jaime River, there are at least four disappointment he felt on this six IOS. The following opinion is poured on Pocketnow, who quoted on Monday (6/18/2012).
A. IOS 6 Coming LateApple is famous for launching the product that defines new standards. When they are late, usually the company's legacy of Steve Jobs made tremendous inroads, or offering something dramatically better.
Unfortunately, IOS-6 is considered not that way. Be the OS that is more 'beautiful' is not necessarily a better system. One of them is a deeper integration of Facebook.
Despite a new, true integration of Facebook's already in Windows Phone 7. "There's something new? I think not," said Jaime River.
There is also FaceTime connected with cellular network - was only able to connect via WiFi. Third-party applications have been offering video calls via mobile, thus making FaceTime update is also seen late.
2. User Interface Still The SameThe distance between 1 and IOS IOS six to five years. But until now there has been no significant change of the mobile operating system. Everything still looks the same.
"Can you imagine Microsoft launched Windows Vista that still look like Windows XP? The age difference between them is only five years, both have different user interfaces," said River.
It functions in the IOS has changed here and there, but use something similar for half a decade is certainly not the right choice for Apple.
"I understand the purpose of the Apple icon in keeping the entire grid, but why not find out some way to have a different UI profile," he continued.
"Hey, if Cydia - Jailbreak applications - just to know, I'm sure all the thousands of Apple engineers could do better," said River.
3. Fragmentation of the Start 'Weird'
When Apple launched the IOS-6 turns out there is some fragmentation that differ from each other, the truth hated in Android. Because the main problem of fragmentation is a hardware limitation.
Indirectly IOS 6 do. For example, in this beta version of IOS 6, Siri was not supported in the iPad 2. And if the iPhone 3G gets updated IOS 6, why is not the first generation iPad?
4. Apple Stuck in the Comfort Zone
Using a device that is not better than the competitors, of course not easy in a tough competition as it is now. Moreover, forced to wait up to 18 months, of course it was torture.
"It's not as if I do not recommend IOS 6. Once again, there are a ton of reasons why the iPhone 4S is still in my pocket to run the beta version. My biggest concern lies in the future," said River.
"Apple seems to have fallen into a comfort zone in today's dangerous. This company appears not to compete for the struggle to keep pace," he insists.
