Importing Your Contacts from iCloud to Google Contacts

All the talk about iPhone 5s and iOS 7 upset you? Maybe you were expecting more from the new iPhone and wish you could switch to Android now? Part of making the switch to Android is having all your contacts available in one piece. It’s easy to move your contacts from iCloud to Google Contacts so they appear on your shiny new Android phone the moment you sign in. Here’s how to do it!
