rofl those 24 dislikers must be iphone users! hahahaha dont you guys have some calls to drop by holding your phone to talk?

noone mentioned that android also loads the animated gifs, which i imagine are skipped by the other two browsers. that could explain it losing the first few tests

@ceilingkatt i still wouldn't say the browsers on android is faster, because iphone's processor is slower.

FROYO FTW!!!!!!!!

It's not really a fair test though, android devices have all different hardware

@dexiPL

Opera Mobile only does that if "Opera Turbo" is enabled in the settings.

@barecomb So to use iPhone, you need Mac computer to connect iphone to computer and to use bluetooth, you need 2 iphones to connect with bluetooth. Unwise like android you can connect it with anything, but not with iPhone, ofc.

@barecomb True, true... But, Android gives much more. Android is open source, you can modify it how you want, the iOS otherwise, is most closed source ive seen.

Crappy test. Froyo downloads web pages directly, while HD2's Opera uses Opera's servers to compress web pages, pictures, etc. (It slows down downloading, but you download less data). So comparison was made unprofessionally.

The giroscope in Froyo's cell phone is set differently, than in other two cell phones; therefore, it looks like it is faster than others.

wouldnt the speeds also depend on the proccessor speed?

This video doesn't have any credibility since you are just using your eyes. Need advanced testing and same conditions and accurate timing.

Android is still not buttery smooth like iOS. Unfortunately...
