Passbook for Centralized management for tickets, gift cards, and boarding passes:
With Passbook iOS 6 offers a central app that allows users to manage boarding passes, gift cards, itineraries, and more. But if you want to manage these requirements on Android, you need to use more than one app. Use TripIt to build custom itinerary based on your ticket boarding passes, calendar appointments, and more. Pro version of the app notifies you of travel delays, warnings and cancelled flights. It also lets you find alternative transportations and a lot of others. For rewards cards you can install Key Ring. It is the best app to replace your wallet with your phone. You can install Fandango and Flixster to buy and keep Movie, Concert, and Event Tickets on your phone.
Improved voice control
With iOS 6 Siri can do some more tasks such as to launch apps, read Yelp reviews, and look up sports scores. There is still no perfect match available for Android. Android does not have an inbuilt feature like this but you can get this through third party apps. Newer Android powered phones, e.g. such as Samsung’s Galaxy S3 have S Voice. It lets you send SMS by voice, search local businesses and food options, launch apps and make calls. It is like your assistant and you can activate it by speaking to it. Other virtual assistant for similar functions operations are Assistant and Jeannie.
