  1. These benchmarks are getting a bit stupid. Yes, each company needs to push their products to be as fast as possible, to be solid and as stabler as possible, etc. . . however, I doubt anyone is going to be looking for a device and think–this will save me one second on a page load versus this one. Besides that, we know iFans will by crapple no matter how bad it is. So, let’s just make Android the best OS in the world, bar none, and leave the rest in the dust!!!

  2. Was unaware of chrome for android ….

    Speed does matter for page loading, if it is slow I’ll jump between tabs so im not waiting for page to load. My I really do love my nexus one, only time pages don’t load almost instantly is if im not on wifi.
