    None. It's poor. Very little to shout about.

    Nothing "innovative". Purely Apple keeping their sinking ship afloat

    IOS is just catching up and copying Android 2
    Reject call will message - We've had that for ages
    Integration with social networks - Android designed to support this much more versatile than IOS
    Voice Navigation - another copy
    Do not disturb - Silent mode

    Apple playing catch-up with HTC whom they claim patent infringement against - how ironic

    If I look at what I now have with my SGT10.1 running the latest iteration of AOKP ICS ROM iOS looks ancient.

    Let's be honest though. EVERYONE is looking outdated next to Androids latest iterations!! It's not so much what Apple is doing wrong but how much Android is getting right and the rate at which it is evolving.

    So I tried Windows 8 last night and was distinctly unimpressed. We need some snazzy new operating systems... not tired old ones.

    True. I agree that iOS is a great OS and that Apple makes awesome devices. No argument there. Honeycomb was a bit of a disaster for Android but ICS has fixed that ... and Jelly Bean is coming. With ICS on my tablet I now have total control on just about everything ... no limits ... and after some tuning the device look absolutely stunning.

    At least not until there is an untethered jailbreak available
