#5 Google Notifications vs. Apple's Notification Center

Google's Notifications are awesome. It gives us quick and easy access to brightness, airplane mode, Bluetooth, data usage, and pretty much everything else we care about.

Apple's Notification Center on the other hand is just a hub for missed alerts. The feature we use the most is weather. Even with iOS 6's new social additions, Notification Center is still pretty boring. 

Google gets thumbs up.

#4 Apple's new Phone app vs. Google's Phone app

Apple has greatly improved its phone app. iOS 6 introduces a completely redesigned phone app. Now as you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message, or set a callback reminder.

Google has also added some neat features to its phone app. You can play voicemail messages directly from the Notification Center when you miss a call. A new notification lets you return the call or reply by SMS with a single touch. And as a result of Google's Project Butter, the dialpad is more responsive.

The features are pretty even on this one.

Both Google and Apple get thumbs-up
