Means nothing to me. I owned the Iphone and can say that my Droid loads slower than it did sometimes, the same as it did sometimes and faster than it did sometimes. Way more to it then a one time test....I have had the Iphone stall on pages many times....

[novacane]

I did it alongside the video, and my droid finished within 15 seconds of the iphone on the video...on 3g.

[NickWgnr]

I just did it on my DROID and it beat the Iphone on the video with only 3g. Whatever...

yeah started at same time and was much faster than the droid in the video also he says they are on the same network in the beginning..... anyways guess if he moved that iphone a couple inches to the left he might lose his 3g and we would have a different result on our hands now wouldn't we.

[don_813]

what the heck he seems so iphone biased, maybe its preloaded, cuz my 3g was way faster than that. also when its about halfway u can start browsing ALL of the material on the page

[CorvetteAustin24]

I wonder if he honestly thinks testing on one site actually means anything?

[sparticus]

well considering his remarks he must be a iphone user. so i would bet that the iphone has been to engaget before with some images cashed.

Here's another comparison......

[andrewdoane]

The big difference between the two videos is that the first one was wi-fi and the second is 3G. And I think that highlights the reason I bought a Droid... and probably lots of other people on this forum. I, for one, will admit that if Verizon had the iPhone I would have bought one two years ago. But they don't. It is just irrelevant to me how fast the processor is and the speed of the browser application because on AT&T and T-Mobile, none of it works where I live. AT&T could come out with the iPhone 8G with the world's fastest processor, every app in the app store free, and holograms like Princess Leia in Star Wars, and sell the whole thing for $100 and I wouldn't buy one because it still has to be a phone.

Okay, if it could do the hologram thing I would buy one. But I wouldn't be able to use it as a phone. It would just be a toy.
