Video shows winner of browser battle between mobile Safari, Android and IE9
Share:
We also need to tell you that the browser used on the HTC Windows Phone 7 device is the upcoming IE9 with hardware acceleration in the browser which means that the software on the HTC Windows Phone 7 device is not yet available for the public to use. Using an unreleased browser to compete with two browsers currently available possibly skews the results in favor of a desired objective-it is not playing on a level playing field. In fact, it is like comparing oranges to an Apple-and an Android.

iPhone was using 4.2!!! With iOS 4.3 it got 5 fps... Not much better but still I have no idea why they didn't use iOS 4.3 its score still sucked and it would have solved the whole problem with people going crazy.
I think PA released this just to see us argue. I mean this is really old...

duh. . They are normally a little late reposting the news from the other sites they pull from. The best thing this place has going is its active (and highly flamable) posting community. lol. They want us to fight eachother! It helps increase their add revenue.

Thaks PA for at least giving us the warning that the test was totally skewed....give me this test on three existing devices at one of the larger tech conferences and ill be more satisfied with the results.

I'd rather watch which phone sells out the fastest :)

yes, because you don't care what kind of outdated and closed off brick the iPhone 4 is; as long as people are duped into buying it, you're happy. :P

Nope. Because what sells the most in a certain price category is what works better overall in that price category :)

The Samsung Captivate, which has the same internal memory as an iPhone 4, the same speed processor, the same RAM, and a bigger (and better) screen, sells right now for the exact same price WITH UP TO FOUR YEARS OF INSURANCE. Without insurance we sell it for up to a hundred bucks less. And you say that the iPhone 4 works better?
Btw, side note. Dude came in to buy the 3GS for his daughter. Sold him on the Bravo instead, with insurance and a memory card. It was an easy sell. And he loved-LOVED- that he could ACTUALLY INSURE the Bravo through us.

I love the snotty iphone loving attitude of PA... they have been without a doubt, biased against anything other than the iphone from day one. Now they presented with an item that on paper beats the iphone and are caught red handed making excuses.
Face it, windows will be making huge strides in the next few years with not only their phone software by windows 8, which will run on tablets. And if Apple chooses not to compete to this level, it will be way behind. Who wants an ipad when windows 8 works great on a tablet. Sure maybe the tablet is slightly thicker to compensate for the larger battery, but big deal.

Did anyone else notice how the iPhone had no service.

How does this test work?I just ran it on my ipad 2,which is far more powerful than all those handsets and was only getting 1fps.

this test is not about power, but the browser capability itself.... now I wonder how much hardware acceleration on the browser will pump android...

i guess its a good thing after all hat Nokia has adopted Windows Phone...coz honestly i love Symbian but it can never get the visual appeal element right in it..and the basic functions for what we were defending symbian look like are being added slowly to Windows phone platform...I'm impressed with the browser and the multitasking performance showed at the MIX...but i still HATE the homescreen!! I would go for the Android widgets and 7 homescreens any day over this BLAND Tiles view crap!!..everything else seems to be improving in it...
P.S. just to make my point I wud like to add that while i might shift to Android/Windows in the future, I will never NEVER go for the iphone in a million years!!..feels like suffocation in that "thin" brick!

Are u F**KIN nuts??! the whole idea of a conference is to showcase to customers and investors of whats coming next and the latest developments..and yes to attratc potential buyers of the device!..they just showed how the upcoming fares compared to the existing competition..how u think that skews results is beyond me! Seriously PA you have F.A.N.B.O.Y written all over you. For a tech site u really shouldnt be biased! and rather encourage the "better" things in development (pun intended to say WP7 kicks iOS in the groin) sorry fanboys..iOS just ain't the thing
