oh hey guys jon rettinger with john for lake is calm here with a browser speed comparison for you of the iphone 3g and the t-mobile g1 both are running 3g networks the iphone here just has two bars of 3g and the g one actually has four bars of 3g but it should still be a relatively fair comparison so i'm going to go ahead and load up john for lakers calm beer will check network speed and rendering so without any further ado let's go ahead and get the started I'll start on both at the same time there's John for lakers I'll release my finger alright and we are off click the g1's got it well iphone caught up g one's loaded the header and the iphone has loaded the context of the page looks to be neck-and-neck actually still going alright the g1 is done and now the iphone is done so just a little bit behind not far i did hit the g one just a second before the iphone so there was relatively close so let's check default rendering here the iphones are very familiar browser you're probably all seen it renders it immediately in a webview format so you can see all the text right here and it looks just as it would on a computer and your zoom is done by a double tap to zoom in double tap to zoom out and you also have the pinch zoom and pinch zoom out and you can pan around with your finger so here on the g one it actually loaded the page in a relatively zoomed format but it did show it with just the text right here so it actually zoomed in on just the text and left the images and such to the side and scrolling is done the same way on the iphone nice and smooth no delay and it's flick growing so it keeps going after you lift up your finger and the zoom is done with this plus and minus arrows here so you can zoom in zoom out you tap the screen the aerials will show up and I can zoom out with those arrows the zooming is not as fluid as the iphone but it is definitely usable and actually is very nice now the g one has something cool that the iphone doesn't have in the bottom right-hand corner here you have these little arrows and if you click those arrows you get a little window sorry I'm looking at an angle your I didn't quite click it there we go you get a little window right here and you can move that took a little magnifying glass to move it anywhere you want let's move it over those bars when you let go it zooms in right on that area it actually is very cool and it's not so much for giving actually found myself using it so very impressive nice little feature that google has added there also one cool feature that is on the g1 let me go ahead and show you guys actually has windows similar to what's on chrome so you can have different windows open at the same time and you can go back and forth the iphone has a tabbed interface or actually a multiple window interface as well you can scroll back and forth through new windows hit new page hit the window button oops hit the window button and you can go back and forth kind of viewing one page at a time here you get a layout where you can view four at a time just different ways do the same thing six half dozen have another I'm actually very impressed with the browser on the g one it actually is the most full-featured user-friendly browser I've seen on any non iphone or not Apple made device certainly kudos to google for putting out such a stellar browsing center two concentric device I use the browser a lot and I'm able to use the g one just as I would my iphone which is my primary daily driver certainly give them a big credit anyway guys it's a real short video comparing browser speeds I hope you enjoyed and I will see you guys in the next video bye bye if you want some exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter w twitter com and for more news reviews and videos all put out by you the reader and viewer sure to check out w WG on for lakers calm by
