Mobile Web Wars: Android Lot Faster than iPhone

[thrasher32]

[citation][nom]LuckyDucky7[/nom]"...Come on now.If you want to be cool, no matter the cost, you choose the iPhone....[/citation]

Really? Having an iPhone makes you cool? If by "Cool" you mean "Ignorant", then I guess you're right.

@LuckyDucky and thrasher,

If you want to be cool,

I love how LD said, "If you want to be cool..."
"to be" is future tense. As-in, "you aren't cool now, but want to be."

Perfect.

I love how fandroids are all over a bit of news that shows an Android performing better than an iPhone, but when the truth comes out (poor/biased test) they either shut up or start coming up with excuses.

BTW, still haven't heard any fandroids comment (yet) on the Xoom vs iPad 2 benchmarks where the iPad 2 pwns the Xoom.

Ignorant to what exactly? What makes you think people all over the world are more ignorant because they bought an iPhone instead of say....Android or Nokia? The perception that people buy an iPhone because it's cool really has no bearing on iphone sales. People buy the iPhone because thats what they want....period!
When Google was first introduced in 96 it was cool then...what is it now? Is it still cool? Or have people found google to be superior to the other web search engines? I would say the latter. The same is true for the iPhone.
To assume that all people are ignorant to tech is complete BS for the simple fact that as a rule ...people stick to what they know and windows had and currently still do have a phone OS. Why haven't windows dominated the phone OS industry? Why are they less than 10% market share? Surely if you want to be cool and 95% of the desktop OS is windows it would stand to reason to have it on my phone right? Well I guess that paradigm doesn't exist in this world just like this misperception that people are ignorant for having an iPhone. In fact, most iPhone owners are in fact windows users. So does that make the majority of the population in the world ignorant and you are the only soul in this world with a clue?
Please.....I would say you'er full of shit!

TeraMedia please ignore my post to you.

in cell phones, pads and cars, speed isn't the whole story. How well does it 'handle,' and is the ride a pleasant experience or annoying. How does it feel to drive, and navigate?

[citation][nom]nao1120[/nom]Who cares if they didn't use safari or not - They should maybe compare firefox or chrome if those are version of browsers both devices can use. Google shouldn't even need to want to even think about using Safari. Its designed to be faster on mac and iOS platforms....The bottom line, the devices perform faster in a web test. Done.[/citation]
So fairness doesn't matter?

 

[ericburnby]

^ Nope. Fairness doesn't matter as long as you can make your competitor's product look inferior.

I mean, it's also perfectly OK to test graphics cards using a game that's optimized for one manufacturer so you can claim that card is faster. But if that ever happens Tom's readers are all over it calling foul.

Again, hatred for Apple is so strong it blinds people to the truth.

 

[dalethepcman]

I have no hatred for apple aside from their pricing, but after using an android and being able to do ANYTHING I want that the hardware is cabable of, I find myself disliking the apple product more. If you really want a good browser test for your iphone vs android device, go to newgrounds.com and click on a flash game. Sizzle Winning, Duh!

 

[ericburnby]

^ Yeah, because we all know that every Android device runs the latest version of Flash and nobody with previous versions of Android are waiting for upgrades so it'll work on their phones.

 

[dalethepcman]

See the link where only 7.8% of android devices are on an os older than 2.1 Those are the ones that can't play flash, so yes im going to assume anyone that want's flash on their android device has it.

and the link doesn't appear!! copy and past this if you care.

[ericburnby]

^ Assume all you want. Anyone with Android knows it's not as simple as "you have an Android, you have Flash".

Funny how fandroids say the App Store is full of crap and the Market is full of high-quality useful apps, and you suggest going to a Flash games site to show the capabilities of an Android phone? LOL

 

[ProDigit10]

No surprise, Droid is faster, smarter, cheaper, and better than the iphone!
They don't look so bad some of the droid phones, and apart from the total lack of controls on the iphone, and their pale looking backs, the droids look very similar to the iphones.
Definitely can be mistaken for an iphone by a leek!

The testing may have been flawed. I'll let the link, and updated data speak for themselves.

Its sad really, you see I have the choice of weather I want to turn my phone into a wifi hotspot, I have the choice of watching flash content on the web, I have the choice of watching porn, I have the choice to buy an iphone or an android. It should be pretty obvious which one I chose and which one Eric's mother chose for him.

 

[applerocks]

Dont confuse readers here with facts like the test was flawed! The purpose of this site is to BASH APPLE! Now get with the program!

Shhh I haven't made Eric cry yet, your spoiling the fun!

Also, don't forget to add in that some people just like to bash those who don't prefer to use what they themselves like. Which is one reason why I oh-so-love the "iSheep" insult so much.. Because.. It's almost as if the insulter doesn't realize they are part of an even bigger herd of absolute lemmings.. So pathetic.

I use what *I* want, when *I* want, where *I* want. Specs, Brand, and petty children be damned.

It's my life. Get over it.
