I've been looking around for answers to this but haven't found much. Does anyone know why iPhone/iPod touch internet is so slow? (in comparison to internet on a computer)
I remember at WWDC Steve was comparing 3g to Wifi and he opened a page where it was something like 17 seconds for Wifi and 20 seconds for 3g. Now I know that's a big improvement over edge, but its still very slow, only just bareable to use IMO. Does anyone know why it takes an iPhone 17 seconds to load a page over Wifi, whereas a computer using the same Wifi connection takes 1-2 seconds?
I realise it could be to do with page rendering, but these devices have fairly nippy processors in them. I remember the first PC I had with dial up internet and a slow processor, about 10 years ago, was slow to load up pages, but still quicker than my iPod touch over Wifi.
So could someone please explain this to me once and for all. Thanks. And sorry if this has come up in another thread, don't bite my head off over it.
