World’s Fastest Texting Actually Done on an iPhone?
Jonne Eilimö | August 25, 2010 06:37 | 0 comments | sourceA few days ago a British woman claimed that she was the world’s fastest texter on a Samsung Galaxy S with the Swype keyboard. She spelled “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human” in 25.94 seconds.
In the video above, you can see someone (Gumballtech?) write the same text in under 22 seconds on an iPhone, with a standard QWERTY-keyboard. Can you see the speed of those fingers!?

Here’s a teaser for you of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab will compete with the Apple iPad, and will come some pretty neat features not seen on the iPad.
The Galaxy Tab will have a 7″ screen and a set of capacitive buttons. It will run on Android 2.2, and that will ensure you the “full web experience” seen in the video. And by the full experience, they mean Adobe’s Flash. HD video playback, e-reader functionality, Swype keyboard and a rear camera with LED flash should also be features of the Galaxy Tab.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab will be announced on September 2nd, at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany.
Sounds pretty neat, doesn’t it?

Browser Comparison: Windows Phone 7 vs iPhone 4 vs Nexus One
Jonne Eilimö | August 24, 2010 20:26 | 0 comments | sourceCheck out this browser comparison between the LG Panther (Windows Phone 7), iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) and Nexus One (Android 2.2).
Pretty neat little feature in IE on Windows Phone 7. It can load content in different tabs in the background, and as far as I know, this isn’t currently available on other platforms.
