iPhone Download Benchmark, and Browser Updated

Do you think this could give evidence to the rumor that one of the things Jobs will reveal is that iPhone uses 802.11n WiFi?
 
Ahh.. What is this?

Its not yet in google's cache, but ironically goto google and search "1A543a" and then search for "1A543a" on the text.broadband link page.

i am seeing "969 0.608s (1024k) myvzw.com Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Kevin) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3"

Can anyone quickly please confirm i am not crazy! :confused:

No? How would this prove it uses 802.11n? These speeds are easily exceeded with 802.11g, and even 802.11b.
 
so to send a pic i just took with the iphone, i would need access to a wifi hotspot? even if i had access to a hotspot, would i be able to send the pic to another mobile user, or would it have to be sent to an email address?

I have Edge with my BB, I don't think it's that slow.

Yeah. Although I still find myself mainly using mobile optimized sites.

But in my experience with the Treo 650 at least, EDGE itself seems capable enough. The problems I've always seen have been where it starts to pause after a certain amount of content has been downloaded. But I think this is the Blazer browser itself though, because when it pauses the entire Blazer browser locks up.

But say I am loading up a page that is 500k or so. I will see the first 100-200k come in really quickly, but then Blazer seems to crap out and the rest downloads slowly. But I think this is because Blazer is getting choked up.

If the entire page download would go as fast as it did for the first 100-200k, it would be really be just fine.

Have you tried downloading full versions of webpages over EDGE? I used to have a Cingular 8125, and EDGE would work okay with pages optimized for mobiles, but on regular pages it would take forever.

What else do you want? We just had Apple release new MacBook Pros which are shaping up to be some of the nice portable Macs ever made. Next week will be devoted to Mac OS X 10.5 (and who knows what other surprises are in store).

Agreed. Its getting kind of boring seeing people complaining in here. A Mac is a Mac. Speed bumps are just speed bumps. Hardly the most exciting things in the world so all of this iPhone/Apple TV stuff is a nice distraction.

Heh, what did the story turn out to be with those guys? Just more free energy huxters, or was this site part of some elaborate ARG promotion?

Supposedly, scientific trials started in January, but they haven't yet shown the panel a full working model, although they are planning a public demonstration of some sort in London in July. Color me skeptical.

I used to have the same problem with my BB7130. It's due to a limited memory, and ability to render. It's basically a bottleneck of data coming in while at the same time the puny little processor (nothing personal against the Treo, it's most, if not all cell phones to date) is trying to render the graphics.

I'm hoping and assuming that won't be a problem here. Frankly, say we can expect at least 200kbps, that should make the average web page just fine.

PS- The same problem occurs on my current work BB8703 which is in Sprints EVDO network, so it's not the network, but the horsepower / memory under the hood. I can tether it to a laptop lightning fast, but rendering on the BB is miserable.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I was actually in a Cingular store trying to do some speed tests. I basically loaded up www.cnn.com on my Treo 650 (with EDGE) and a Treo 750w (with Windows Mobile, and 3G). I was expecting/assuming that the 750 would blow the Treo 650 away (because of EDGE vs. HSPDA), but frankly it seemed to take a long time to load it too..... still beat my Treo 650, but not by as much as I expected. I experienced similar results with a 3G Cingular 8525.

It made me think that even if I had a 3G smartphone, I'd probably still end up using mobile optimized sites anyway; aside from the fact that navigating around cnn.com with the way Pocket IE renders it seemed completely pointless.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how it works on the iPhone. I really wouldn't be surprised if it is smoother and doesn't get bottlenecked like my current Treo does.

Well i want some news on 10.5 for example.
By news i mean something world-moving ;) not a new screensaver or a dashboard.. if you know what i mean.
MacBook Pro were not exactly news, they were expected.
12" Mac Pro for example would be nice.
I don´t know.. i guess i just would like to expect some originality from Apple and some new ideas in a computer world.
That´s all.
 
Wow i guess any bit of gossip is good.

This is completely useless information. I hope macrumors stay on top of
the negative side of the iphone as much as it does with stuff like this.
And we all know apples first gen products is their wide access pay me to be my beta tester program.

I can just imagine the excuses that will be given when the iphone fails to be the jesus christ of cell phones.

p.s zadillo every release of a portable macbook pros are labeled "greatest mac notebook ever made"
So that means other pc manufacturer with same specs can claim the same but they dont use the monicker to
lure the naive in.
 
GGG, yeah you know me!

So triple "G" Naughty by Nature references aside, I'm talking about the 3g network decision by the FCC.

Will that affect the browser situation at all, will the iPhone simply go wifi?

What do you think?

Can I ask a perhaps dumb question? This Edge vs. 3g business.... Is this something that is hardwired into the phone or is it something that is upgradeable without buying a new phone? (sorry for the newbieish question but I'm incredible 'cell phone stupid'.)
