  Engadget has put together a little test showing the speed differences between the iPhone 4 and the Nexus One’s browsers. The first test was done with Flash enabled on the Nexus One and the second test was done with it disabled (to make it fair since, as we all know, the iPhone doesn’t support Flash). Take a look at the videos for the results. So it seems that BBC News, gdgt, and The Onion all came out as pretty much a tie in that test, with the iPhone 4 loading Engadget a second or two quicker than the Nexus […]

  Samsung loves to talk about how their 1ghz Hummingbird chipset blows similar 1ghz processor chipsets out of the water (like the Snapdragon). Well, someone with a Samsung Galaxy S (running a Hummingbird chipset) and an HTC Desire (running a 1ghz Snapdragon chipset) decided to put that to the test by running Quake on both devices.

If you are curious what it is going to

The sentence was: “I’m gonna ask rock star Kostas… to come on. And Kostas has brought with him Windows Phone 7, which we launch this October.” Whoops. Not sure if that confirms anything, but it sure does fit in with the Telstra roadmap leak, so it is possible. Wonder if she meant to say it or if it just slipped? Check out the video of the presentation itself, the line is the very first line she says in the video…

  Ok, so there are some limitations to this that I’ll explain, but for the most part Fring’s new free IM app allows you to do video calling (over 3G, 4G, or WiFi) to any other Android phone with the Fring app installed. This is obviously perfect timing for Fring to launch this feature right before the iPhone, with it’s new Facetime video calling (only works on WiFi and only from iPhone 4 user to iPhone 4 user), launches. There is however a catch. While it DOES work on all Android phones (just did it from a Nexus to a
