iPhone 5 was announced today. The phone will be a good upgrade for current iPhone users. However, will it be an upgrade for Android users? Well here is what I thought as I watched the announcement\u00a0 (i did get this list from another website but it was exactly what I was thinking) and this is comparing it to my GNex that is 8 months old:<\/p>\n

1) LTE – 1.5 years too late
\n2) Widescreen – 3 years too late
\n3) Old apps run letterboxed – this is bad
\n4) Facetime over cellular – 2 years too late although skype did this on iPhone 4s
\n5) Maps – Google Maps\/Earth knockoff
\n6) Navigation – 3 years too late. Well they had it you just had to buy a separate app for it.
\n7) Tab sharing – Firefox\/Chrome knockoff – A year+ too late
\n8) VIP e-mail – Gmail knockoff – A year+ too late
\n9) Passbook – neat concept but no payment within app
\n10) No NFC – Year and a half too late and counting
\n11) No backwards compatibility of hardware (need to buy new chargers\/car chargers, etc)
\n12) Poor battery life – this is compared to GNex and S3
\n13) No SD Card (mine doesnt either and i do not care about this feature but many do)<\/p>\n
