iPhone 4/iPod Touch 4G/iPad Speed Test

This is a speed test between the iPhone 4, the iPod Touch 4G, and the iPad. They are all running iOS 4.2.1. In the end, the iPad usually came first, then the iPod Touch 4G, and lastly the iPhone 4.

Google Chrome, not so fast!

I have recently tweeted about what I want to talk about in this blog post. I'm currently using a Mac, running Snow Leopard with all the latest updates and it's in Wifi. My internet is provided by BT (British Telecoms in the UK) and I expect a 8mb (megabyte) service when I get (usually) 4-5mb. Anyway, enough rambling.

I tested the speed between the Chrome browser, which I believe is still under the BETA release and the traditional Mac browser, Safari 4. I found a significant difference between the speed the 2 browsers were receiving while they took the speedtest side by side. 

To the left we have Chrome and Safari is on the right.

As you can see, Chrome drops the download speed dramatically whereas Safari keeps it strong. I know Google Chrome is still in BETA, but I think this is either a definite bug or something is wrong with their browser.
