Touch screen comparison round two – Without human error

| March 24, 2010 14:04 UTC | 0 comments |

Remember that touch screen comparison a few months ago? People were saying that the test was flawed due to human error. Well guess what? The same test is now done with a robot controlling the finger! So this time around you can’t actually blame the results on anything other than poor/good display quality. This time they have also done the test on a Palm Pre and Storm 2, in addition to the “old” Apple iPhone, HTC Droid Eris, Motorola Droid and Google Nexus One.

Hit view post to see the equipment/robot that is controlling the finger, and the video.

Web browser test: Motorola Droid, iPhone 3GS, Nokia N900, HTC HD2, Nokia N97 mini, BB Storm and Palm Pre

| January 10, 2010 17:31 UTC | 1 comment |

A pretty basic browser speed test between the Motorola Droid, iPhone 3GS, Nokia N900, HTC HD2, Nokia N97 mini, Palm Pre and BlackBerry Storm. The iPhone 3GS is still the fastest, while the HTC HD2 comes in at second place. The only one I’m missing from the test is Google’s Nexus One.
