Apple's iOS 5 is slated for release this fall, presumably with iPhone 5. But the Android Army doesn't have to wait, like the iPhone idolators. Android users can have some of those features now. Looks like Apple has been doing a little copycatting. Again.
It's funny, since hardcore Apple enthusiasts are so quick to accuse whenever they see anyone copying the slightest thing from Steve Jobs' company. They're not as fast to acknowledge when Apple does the, ah, borrowing. I'm glad to do it for them.
With that brief introduction, here's my second top-5 list within 12 hours presented in order of importance.
It's coincidental there are two so close together; don't expect this to be habit.
1. Cloud Synchronization. With iOS 5 and iCloud, iPhone users will get most of the sync benefits Androiders have long enjoyed.
2. Notifications Center. Apple gets kudos for better presentation, but Google had the concept first.
3. Over-the-air updates. Apple has made iPhone slave to iTunes for far too long. Apple cuts the update cord that binds the iPhone chain gang.
4. Photo sharing. Android users know the many benefits of using an open system, where developers are allowed to tap into the platform capabilities. Apple presents sharing options for its services but none other. Photo sharing will be available from the camera and photo gallery.
5. Twitter. Androiders can tweet from some apps, like the browser and YouTube, a capability iPhoners will get these capabilities from Twitter being integrated into iOS 5.

Five advantages of trading forex market .
1. 24 Hour Market: Since the forex market is worldwide, trading is continuous as long as there is a market open somewhere in the world. Trading starts when the markets open in Australia on Sunday evening, and ends after markets close in New York on Friday.
2. High Liquidity: Liquidity is the ability of an asset to be converted into cash quickly and without any price discount. In forex this means we can move large amounts of money into and out of foreign currency with minimal price movement.
3. Low Transaction Cost: In forex, typically the cost for a transaction is built into the price. It is called the spread. The spread is the difference between the buying and selling price.
4. Leverage: Forex Brokers allow traders to trade the market using leverage. Leverage is the ability to trade more money on the market than what is actually in the trader's account. If you were to trade at 50:1 leverage, you could trade $50 on the market for every $1 that was in your account. This means you could control a trade of $50,000 using only $1000 of capital.
5. Profit Potential from Rising and Falling Prices: The forex market has no restrictions for directional trading. This means, if you think a currency pair is going to increase in value; you can buy it, or go long. Similarly, if you think it could decrease in value you can sell it, or go short.
