Apple vs. Google: Gaining heat in summers

Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) unveiled iOS 6 for the iPhone and iPad. Apple is promising over 200 new features in the latest version of its mobile operating system, but only a few of them were highlighted in the keynote.
June is an exciting month for smartphone fanatics as Microsoft is expected to unveil the next generation of Windows Phone at an event on June 20 while Google is expected to reveal its plans for the next version of Android, codenamed "Jellybean."
Here are a few specs to see who comes out on top
Apple iOS 6 vs. Android 4.0: User interface
From a design perspective, we can expect much of the same in terms of looks and the feel of interacting with iOS 6. So expect the Android-inspired notification bar pull down to stil be present, as well as folders and many of the new elements added in iOS 5.
Android 4.0 is of course all about the homescreens and bringing a universal look and feel to Google-powered devices running the latest version of the mobile operating system. There’s the lock screen that gives you quick access to your smartphone or tablet camera, re-sizeable widgets and shortcuts to drag onto the five homescreens, app folders, but this particular feature doesn’t feel as well executed as it is in iOS 5.
 
Apple iOS 6 vs. Android 4.0: Maps
Having ditched Google Maps, Apple has teamed up with TomTom to create a native Map app where iOS 6 users can expect a 100 million business listings from around the world, turn-by-turn navigation and a 3D view over cities that 's a slick alternative to the revamped Google Earth currently available on Android.
Google Maps has been ruling mobile navigation for some time and the search engine giant continues to refine the application to make it the ultimate mapping experience. It does most of what Apple claims its Map app will offer, but the question is whether Google will be able to match Apple in terms of design.
 
Apple iOS 6 vs. Android 4.0: Voice
 Siri was first introduced with the iPhone 4S and as we mentioned in our review its ability to set reminders, make calls and have fun  – like asking it the meaning of life was very innovative. Whether it was useful is another matter. iOS 6 seeks to add more functionality with the ability  to launch apps and learn more about content such as sports and movies.
Exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy S3, S-Voice is Samsung’s answer to Siri but lacks the wit and whimsy of the iPhone 4S voice assistant. It will let users command the device to make calls, open apps, play music, search the web, set alarms, find restaurants and much more.
The iPad is set to be added to the Siri ranks this time around, while S-Voice remains exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy S3, and it’s not clear whether it will officially be opened up to other Android smartphones or tablet devices.
 
Apple iOS 6 vs Android 4.0: Browser
Apple has introduced the ability to sync bookmarks and tabs from a desktop to an iPhone or iPad as well as offering Apple smartphone and tablet users the ability to save websites and content for offline viewing. Android 4.0 already boasts the same functionality but crucially, is must be done through the Google Chrome browser. Essentially, there is very little between the browsing experiences and should deliver great ways to rummage around the internet.

To catch up with growing market of ICS-running tablets in India, another player WickedLeak has launched a tablet named Wammy 7, a 7-inch tablet PC. The tablet is considered to be a strong competitor current available government’s Aakash table in the country. Speaking at the launch of the tablet, a company spokesperson stated, “Even though the Indian media tablets market witnessed high decibel launches by the world’s leading vendors, the Tablet PC market in India is a niche market that is quickly picking up the pace with respect to adoption.” 

The tablet, which can be ordered online from company's official website, will be initially launched at schools, professional institutions, and corporate houses. The Wammy 7 tablet PC, as aforementioned features the ICS version of Android and is fuelled by 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A10 All Winner processor with 512 MB DDR3 RAM. Wammy 7 is capable of delivering 1080p full HD video streaming and has dedicated 400 MHzGPU fo advanced flash Apps, Interactive Apps and full HD videos.

Wammy 7 now joins a niche league, that of low-cost, ICS running tablets in India. The Aakash tablet introduced previously has been the one of the ambitious projects undertaken by the Indian government. The tablet, although had the best interests of the student community in the country, failed to capture much mileage, post launch. Poor build quality, battery issues, internal tiffs proved to be a spoiler to the initial joy and excitement that came with the launch of the initial version of the Aakash tablet.
