so you guys I'm here on the NCIX here we go actually I'll Zoom these
out and then so I'm here on the NCI homepage I want to do a quick browser
test between the iPad 2 the Android 3.0
ASUS Transformer and then the Blackberry
playbook running their own OS so here we
go what I'm going to do is I'm loading only Pages here that I have not preached
okay so bear that in mind guys and I'm going to get cameraman to help me press
all three at the same time so on one 3 2
1 and we're going to see who manages to load up the forums the fastest and what
the uh drawing on the screen is like so
the Playbook is uh pretty strong as well as the iPad 2 now let's just do some
quick zooming so I'm going to go show you guys one at a time so let's do the
Android 3.0 platform first let's zoom in on the NC Easter sale let's have a look
at that side banner up close okay and
then let's zoom out here okay now let's do the iPad
2 Easter sale and zoom out and now let's have a
look at the Playbook so for that one because of the wide screen and small
screen form factor we actually have to uh scroll down a little bit there we go
so smoothing is quite quite smooth on the BlackBerry I was very very impressed
by that aspect of its operation now I have loaded up the hardware conu
homepage and this is something that I cannot complain about enough when it
comes to iPad 2 so here's how you switch between tabs on all three devices I
guess I just showed you how to do that so true tabed browsing here on the uh
Android 3.0 platform with the tabs up at the top much like Chrome whereas with
the other two you actually have to access them through an additional button
here which I I don't mind especially on this one um and then you can just click
back to your app to get rid of that and then on the iPad it uh brings you to
like kind of an index of all your different tabs that you have open
okay so let's try going to the forums which I have not done yet the only page
I've loaded is the main homepage on Hardware connects Hardware canu is my
favorite uh tech review site actually since it's all about reviews why don't
we go ahead and uh load up the reviews section of the website so cameraman if
you please 3 2 1 okay the Playbook was
pressed a little bit slower so bear that in mind also I think we pressed it wrong
all we did was highlight it so let's go back and let's go to articles this time
instead okay ready uh hold on we wait
till those pages areow okay ready okay 3 two
1 here we go okay so Android 3.0 has a
clear win now any speed Advantage you see on the iPad 2 may be deceptive
because you can see it doesn't have to load any of the flash content like this
sniper gaming memory bit this Rampage 3 Black Edition these are flash-based
banners and and so those are just not being loaded by the iPad 2 so uh let's
go ahead and uh why don't we just fire up the forums as well as one last one
last test I know this is not like a proper browser test by any stretch of
the imagination but it should give you guys at least a little quick rough idea
of what it's like to navigate to 3 2 1
web pages on these three different
platforms I think you pressed it wrong again
you moved when you pressed it okay okay last one then last one guys I promise
this time uh we'll go to news which we have not been to
yet okay this time cameraman's going to try cameraman's going to operate the
iPad too since that's clearly what he's most comfortable with okay ready 3 2
1 apparently they're all slow for this
page and evidence I screwed up on the Playbook that time well whatever you
guys see how long it takes thank you for checking out our little browser test
which was clearly very poorly executed don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech
