i would much prefer more generic “mobile device” friendly pages then specifically iphone friendly…

All to many eggs in the apple basket these days…

Its better to have iPhone compatble website not only when load time is a concern but also helpful in many ways. I believe companies must look forward to have their websites iPhone compatible. ‘Made for iPhone’ websites by SDPlabs makes it even simpler and easier to have a iPhone compatible website.
Hope that helps someone.
thnx for the post

I bought one (3GS 16Gb) 2 days ago, unlocked from Italy. It is definitely much faster then the old 3G. Faster in loading web pages, loading apps, interface is even smoother. From speed perspective it it just perfect. I just don’t like battery – have to recharge it on daily basis (wifi always on, BT off, push notifications on, 1 hour of web browsing, from time to time surfing through menus and IM posting).
I don’t like 3G version (arguing with my friend who has it), but bought this one due to the following reasons:
- Cortex A8 and PowerVR SGX inside (good enough for a couple of years)
- still the best user interface (palm made a good job though)
- large third party dev community

Push notifications (although not perfect) feature is just enough for me to be 24/24 online for IM, and accept the lack of multithreading.

I mainly use my iPhone for playing games, it’s the best gaming machine ever imo.

X=5
x=3
Y=4
y=2

((5-3)+(4-2))/2=2

(5+4-3+2)/2=8

You might want to check your math.

Yep, unless the interface graphics and all that is made using vectors, higher pixel count can result in smaller graphics overall, making things hard to read for some…

But i am not familiar with the insides of the apple libs. i guess there could be something in there thats set up to deal with this in a “transparent” manner.

The iPod touch has enjoyed a faster processor then the iPhone 3g. But I guess that is entirely different then screen resolution, especially when many apps are more then likely designed for low rez.

Interesting… And not one mention of WM devices…

It would surprise me if a itouch shows up with a high rez screen before a iphone does…

Indeed, should be really interesting.

One more thing – it gives an idea of how quick an OMAP3-based Nokia tablet would be.

The X70 is loading those pages in 66% of the time although it has to be said that these are excellent figures from the iphone 3gs. A great step forward and if you look at 800Mhz Menlow-based devices like the Benq S6 and Aigo, you won’t find the load times much quicker at all (although flash and plugins and full-screen viewing is obviously supported)

a 15-second average page load time is where consumer devices need to be. 10 seconds for pro devices.

I seriously can’t wait for an iPod + version of this. Pray for 800×480 and 4″ or more screen!

Steve.

The difference between the pre and the 3GS can be explained by the variability of adds shown.

Get hit with a somewhat more elaborate ad and it will take longer to fully load…

I would say we are more correctly seeing the difference in load time between cortex (3GS, pre) and the previous gen of ARM (3G, G1).

now what would have been really interesting to see is a matchup of moorestown and cortex that includes battery drain while loading the pages…
