    My new app was going to require you to do face time video chat over cellular while displaying flyover navigation to destinations that you tell siri. The icing on the cake was suppose to be when it created a panoramic image and saved it for you to read later. Upon looking at this useful chart, I realize doing this on iOS is just a bag of hurt. I'm abandoning Apple for Android. I'm downloading the Android SDK right now and I'll see you all on the Play Store where all these features just work on 1.3 million Gingerbread devices they are activating a day.
