Android surfs faster than the iPhone
A recent study performed by Ottowa-based Blaze Software reveals that Android’s mobile Web browser is significantly faster than the mobile Safari browser found on Apple’s iPhone. Blaze performed 45,000 separate tests using 1,000 different websites along with its mobile measurement service, and found that Android was 52% faster on average. The firm utilized the latest Android devices running Android 2.2 and Android 2.3 in the tests, and pitted them against iPhone 4 handsets running both iOS 4.2 and iOS 4.3. “We were very surprised by the results,” said Blaze CTO and Co-founder Guy Podjarnyin a statement. “We assumed that it would be closer race and that the latest JavaScript speed improvements would have a more material impact on performance. The fact that Android beat iPhone by such a large margin was not expected.” Hit the break for the full press release.
iPhone vs. Android – 45,000 Tests Prove Whose Browser is Faster
Ottawa, ON, March 17, 2011 – Blaze Software Inc released today the largest ever research study of smart phone browser performance. The purpose of the study was to determine once and for all which of the two leading smart phone vendors has the fastest browser.
Mobile Web browser usage is exploding. Emarketer estimates that 44.1% of US citizens will leverage mobile Internet by 2014. To capture market interest in mobile browsing, smart phone vendors have been aggressively touting the speed improvements in their products. However, due to the lack of mobile measurement tools, it has been difficult to measure which smart phone actually has the faster browser.
After taking over 45,000 measurements on the latest iPhone and Android devices, the study found that Android was 52% faster than iPhone on average. Android finished loading a Web page faster on 84% of the 1000 Websites tested. The study also found that the despite significant JavaScript performance gains in the latest Apple iOS 4.3 release and Google Android 2.3 releases, these improvement made no measurable improvement on the actual page load times of the sites tested.
“We were very surprised by the results”, said Guy Podjarny, Blaze CTO and Co-Founder. “We assumed that it would be closer race and that the latest JavaScript speed improvements would have a more material impact on performance. The fact that Android beat iPhone by such a large margin was not expected”.

Top 10 free Android apps you must have
Android phones can be easily customized with new software and functionality from the built-inAndroid Market, which features thousands of free and commercial applications that do everything from exposing hidden system preferences to allowing you to edit documents.
With more than 10,000 apps to choose from, the Android Market can be daunting — though nowhere close to the dizzying 70,000 apps available from Apple’s iPhone App Store. And unlike the App Store, the Android Market is difficult to search — rather ironic, given Google’s core business. So I’ve cut out the fat.
Here are ten apps that I think should come standard on every Android phone — and every single one of them is free.
GDocs
Since Android is a Google product, the absence of an app for viewing and editing documents and spreadsheets from Google Docs would just be wrong. That’s where Art Wild’s GDocs comes in, allowing users to view spreadsheets and to create, edit and view word processor documents from their Google Docs account.When you’re viewing a document or spreadsheet, a reasonable approximation of the original formatting is preserved (considering the small screen); editing is strictly text-only, though.
While you probably won’t want to write your life story on your phone’s tiny thumb-board, you can probably touch up that report for work or write up some notes for that short story you’ve been mulling over.
Imeem Mobile
You can play music off your phone’s SD card or stream music over the Internet with Imeem’s mobile player.Imeem offers several ways to listen once you’ve created a free user account: Upload tracks from your computer and listen to them under the “My Music” tab, create on-the-fly radio stations from music similar to your favorite artists using the “Search” function, or listen to featured stations put together by Imeem’s staff and other users.
The best part? Imeem will continue to play in the background while you use other applications.
Locale
Much more than a simple location-based app, Locale from Two Forty Four A.M. LLC is a scriptable, location-aware settings manager. This may not sound all that exciting, but don’t let its simplicity fool you.
With Locale, you can set up conditions that trigger user-defined actions — for example, automatically dimming the screen when the battery gets below 20%, or texting your friends when you get to a specific location, or turning off the ringer at specific times of day.A wide range of triggering events are available — battery level, dates, times, GPS coordinates and calls from specific people can all be used. Settings or events that can be triggered include pop-up notifications, turning Wi-Fi or Bluetooth off or on, sounding a chosen ringtone, sending a text message or tweet, lowering or raising the volume, or even changing the home screen’s wallpaper.
Some third-party programs even integrate with Locale, increasing the available options — for example, a to-do list program could make your shopping list available whenever you go by the store.
Palringo
Android includes an app to access the Google Talk instant messaging network, but these days, one IM network is hardly enough — especially if it’s Google’s. You can access Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Facebook and other IM networks with Palringo.The interface is fairly straightforward, with a tab for all your contacts across your various IM networks and another for “groups” — chats with several participants. You can create groups at will, but only other Palringo members can take part. And if you don’t have any friends, you can always chat with “Samantha,” the built-in chatbot.
PicSay
This fun little app from Shinycore Software lets you edit and modify photos on your phone. Though technically a “lite” version of the company’s PicSay Pro, the feature set is pretty thorough — the only real drawback is that larger photos will be resized to fit the G1′s screen.You can add speech balloons, any of a range of text styles, and images like hearts and stars to your photos. Or if you’re feeling less whimsical, you can modify the picture’s contrast, tint, hue and saturation levels; flip and rotate your image; and do other basic editing tasks.
When your masterpiece is complete, you can send the picture via e-mail or MMS, upload it to Picasa, set it as an icon or as wallpaper, or hand it to another app to upload to a blog, send to Twitter and more, depending on what compatible applications you have installed.
Ringdroid
This app lets you create free ringtones from your favorite songs. (According to copyright attorney Nilay Patel, it’s legal as long as you own the music and you’re creating the ringtone for your own personal use.)Just load a song onto your SD card, select start and end points, and save it as a ringtone, alert or notification. You can even record your own ringtones with Ringdroid.
ShopSavvy
With Big in Japan’s ShopSavvy app on your phone, you’ll never get a bum deal again. Enter a product name or barcode (using the keypad or the camera), and ShopSavvy identifies the product, searches the Web and local chain stores for the best prices, and collects reviews of the item.You can click through to Web sites for more information or to order the item, add items to a wish list, or even set price alerts to be notified whenever the price of an item drops below a certain amount.
Hit the Menu key and a list of related products comes up, which is handy if the reviews of the item you’re looking at convince you that another choice would be smarter.
TuneWiki
TuneWiki is a replacement for Android’s built-in media player, offering a number of nice features. Most notable is the lyric scroll, which pulls lyrics off the Internet and scrolls them along with the song.Other features include integrated Last.fm and Shoutcast radio streaming, YouTube video search, and community features like popular song lists and “music maps” that let you see where people are listening to the same song you are.
Twidroid
It seems like every platform has a half-dozen Twitter clients these days, but on Android, Twidroid from Ralph Zimmerman and Thomas Marban is the reigning king.
In addition to the usual ability to send tweets, view replies and direct messages, and follow or unfollow people, Twidroid integrates with Android’s browser so you can tweet links to pages you find interesting; captures GPS information to tweet your location or to geotag tweeted photos; and offers a selection of URL shortening and photo hosting services.It’s all wrapped up in a clean and stylish interface that’s easy and fun to use.
Video Player
The creatively named Video Player app from Android Tapp does exactly what it says: It plays videos, a function that Google mysteriously chose to leave out of Android.Video Player isn’t fancy; you can play, pause, move backward and forward through the video, and that’s it. It plays only H.264 and MPEG-4 videos, and only from an SD card. But it is the only free video player available for Android right now, and it works well despite the meager feature set.
Google Voice
Google Voice is a service that is so useful I consider it one of the top benefits of Android itself, especially since Apple rejected the Google Voice app for the iPhone. It gives you a phone number that can ring to multiple places or devices and it allows you to access all of your voicemail and text messages over the Web. The Android app integrates even deeper. It can make outgoing calls look like they’re coming from your Google Voice number so that you can keep your real mobile number private.
SMS Popup
This application intercepts incoming text messages and displays them in a popup window (activity). The popup window shows the contact the message came from and their contact photo (if there is one) as well as the content of the message. Directly from the popup the user is given the option to Close the popup (marking the message read) or Reply to the message (using a system intent).
In this release, you can have your messages read aloud to you. To use it, simply long-press anywhere on the message popup. If you don’t have the TTS app installed it will take you through setting things up.
