Default What will Icecream Sandwitch do that IOS5 cant ?

So I know this has been a topic before but for arguing sakes what will our new OS do that IOS 5 will not be able to do. Right now it seems like there is a lot my GS2 can do but what sets the 2 really apart besides the option to Customize ?

I'll get back to this topic after putting all my collected information in order. For now I'll just leave one » "Face Recognition."

We still have the ability to utilize widgets on our homescreens.

Ability to check notifications from the lockscreen, or to go straight to the camera app.

There's plenty of other android abilities, but as for ICS, don't know, haven't had a chance to goof with it.

Android will continue to keep me as far away from iTunes as possible and keep me from going blind (4.3" display). As long as Android does what I need it to do, I am really not interested in what iOS can or cannot do.

Androids have 4g connectivity, widgets, personalization features, real time speach recognition (with ICS), Google Maps, A larger screen size.

Iphone has way better games/apps, and more stable system (although ICS might actually have fixed that already), and of course siri.

For me the 4G pretty much puts a Verizon iphone in 2nd teir status compared to a Bionic or similar Android phones even with Gingerbread. That won't likely be the case in 6 months but for now you'd have to really like Apple os to buy a verizon iPhone.

Actual upgrades to the os?

Since I've been on android I've seen quite a few decent upgrades changes and differences OS to OS.

It's been the same old iOS since before I got my android. When I upgraded my moms Iphone 4 to the newer OS I thought the upgrade was borked until I went in and checked.. I was like "hm.. how can I make sure this worked.. nothings different..." later on she did get a text which confirmed it was different.. but yeahhhh..

OH WAIT, THEY ADDED A NOTIFICATION BAR PRAISE THE FLYING SGETTI MONSTER! THEY FINALLY CHANGED SOMETIN!
