1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:08,120
so you guys I'm here on the NCIX here we go actually I'll Zoom these

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:14,080
out and then so I'm here on the NCI homepage I want to do a quick browser

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:17,279
test between the iPad 2 the Android 3.0

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,439
ASUS Transformer and then the Blackberry

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:22,160
playbook running their own OS so here we

6
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:28,080
go what I'm going to do is I'm loading only Pages here that I have not preached

7
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:34,120
okay so bear that in mind guys and I'm going to get cameraman to help me press

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,600
all three at the same time so on one 3 2

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:43,600
1 and we're going to see who manages to load up the forums the fastest and what

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,879
the uh drawing on the screen is like so

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,199
the Playbook is uh pretty strong as well as the iPad 2 now let's just do some

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,520
quick zooming so I'm going to go show you guys one at a time so let's do the

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Android 3.0 platform first let's zoom in on the NC Easter sale let's have a look

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,199
at that side banner up close okay and

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,320
then let's zoom out here okay now let's do the iPad

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,400
2 Easter sale and zoom out and now let's have a

17
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:15,479
look at the Playbook so for that one because of the wide screen and small

18
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:20,360
screen form factor we actually have to uh scroll down a little bit there we go

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:25,759
so smoothing is quite quite smooth on the BlackBerry I was very very impressed

20
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:30,880
by that aspect of its operation now I have loaded up the hardware conu

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:35,640
homepage and this is something that I cannot complain about enough when it

22
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:38,840
comes to iPad 2 so here's how you switch between tabs on all three devices I

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,560
guess I just showed you how to do that so true tabed browsing here on the uh

24
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,479
Android 3.0 platform with the tabs up at the top much like Chrome whereas with

25
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,079
the other two you actually have to access them through an additional button

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,840
here which I I don't mind especially on this one um and then you can just click

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,479
back to your app to get rid of that and then on the iPad it uh brings you to

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,920
like kind of an index of all your different tabs that you have open

29
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,840
okay so let's try going to the forums which I have not done yet the only page

30
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:11,319
I've loaded is the main homepage on Hardware connects Hardware canu is my

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,480
favorite uh tech review site actually since it's all about reviews why don't

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:19,080
we go ahead and uh load up the reviews section of the website so cameraman if

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,480
you please 3 2 1 okay the Playbook was

34
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,720
pressed a little bit slower so bear that in mind also I think we pressed it wrong

35
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:38,400
all we did was highlight it so let's go back and let's go to articles this time

36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,000
instead okay ready uh hold on we wait

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:47,040
till those pages areow okay ready okay 3 two

38
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:49,239
1 here we go okay so Android 3.0 has a

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,800
clear win now any speed Advantage you see on the iPad 2 may be deceptive

40
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:57,440
because you can see it doesn't have to load any of the flash content like this

41
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:01,280
sniper gaming memory bit this Rampage 3 Black Edition these are flash-based

42
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:07,080
banners and and so those are just not being loaded by the iPad 2 so uh let's

43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,799
go ahead and uh why don't we just fire up the forums as well as one last one

44
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:16,120
last test I know this is not like a proper browser test by any stretch of

45
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:22,920
the imagination but it should give you guys at least a little quick rough idea

46
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:26,519
of what it's like to navigate to 3 2 1

47
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,519
web pages on these three different

48
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:31,760
platforms I think you pressed it wrong again

49
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,159
you moved when you pressed it okay okay last one then last one guys I promise

50
00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:43,159
this time uh we'll go to news which we have not been to

51
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,239
yet okay this time cameraman's going to try cameraman's going to operate the

52
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:51,239
iPad too since that's clearly what he's most comfortable with okay ready 3 2

53
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,799
1 apparently they're all slow for this

54
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:05,159
page and evidence I screwed up on the Playbook that time well whatever you

55
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,159
guys see how long it takes thank you for checking out our little browser test

56
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:12,720
which was clearly very poorly executed don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech

57
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:20,239
tips for more unboxings reviews and other well like I said terribly poorly

58
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:20,239
executed videos like this one
