3 big features the iPhone is missing

Apple's iPhone has crushed the competition, maintaining the title of the world's single best-selling smartphone for five years. But even the mighty iPhone has fallen behind in some key areas. Some of those features may be unveiled on Wednesday, when Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) is expected to announce the iPhone 5. Others are areas in which Apple may never choose to play. The smartphone trends Apple has so far ignored include: apps that display information without opening them, bigger screens, and biometric security. http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/10/technology/iphone-missing-features/index.html
