2009-06-06
hey guys john r Ettinger here with a browser comparison test of the Palm Pre the iPhone 3G and the blackberry storm browsing is a very important component of all three devices let's compare the speeds of each Wi-Fi has been turned off on the iPhone and the Palm Pre not an issue on the storm since it's not equipped with it cache has been cleared this is really ultimately going to be a test of AT&T 3G network and Sprint and Verizon 's EVDO Rev a networks respectively so we're gonna load pocketnow.com on each device and we can gauge the speed I'm going to try and click all three here at the same time which is much more difficult than you think alright looks like we got all three iPhone started just a second later and they're all off looks like the iPhones first one to show some content the pre is very close behind iPhones almost loaded all the content so has the pre the storm is lagging very far behind and the pre is almost done so is the iPhone you can see the little indicator light right there letting you know how cliff are it is little circle what's filling up the iPhone is done in the pre is almost finished and the e video network of the storm is lagging just a little bit and I do have very strong network signals for each this is a very fair comparison and the storm is still going while these two are definitely done so let's see how panning and scrolling works on each device both the iPhone and the pre both claim multi-touch and very easy and smooth finger scrolling so finger scrolling is very smooth on the iPhone you can double tap to zoom and it looks like the storm is almost done double tap to zoom out it does have a multi-touch so you can pinch in and pinch out and the same is supposed to be true on the pretty much check that out will pinch in and that was just a smooth will pinch out and we'll DoubleTap very nice and easy and it didn't look just as smooth as the iPhone doing both at the same time you can see that there really is no lag or delay the storm here should be able to pan and scroll as well and it does it's relatively smooth and you can double tap to zoom and that worked as advertised the storm however does not have multi-touch you have to do the zooming through a pushing of buttons on the side so guys wanted to give you a browser speed comparison test of all three touchscreen devices really these are the big three on each of the major carriers - the t-mobile g1 so if you found this useful in making your decision overall I've been relatively impressed with Sprint's EVDO Rev a speeds cigarettes the channel for a ton more pre videos coming up we're gonna be demoing webOS contacts really every faceted device is gonna get demoed if you have any questions be sure to stick around and watch those also for exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter at twitter.com/usembassymanila
