Comparison on the BlackBerry Browser on the Bold 9700 and Torch 9800

In this video, we take a look at some of the inbuilt software of the Verizon Motorola Droid X, plus put the device head-to-head with the iPhone 4 and Google Nexus One running on Froyo. To start, the Droid X has some neat applications built in. You can use the 3G mobile hotspot app, but it's going to cost you $20 extra on your bill, plus there is a 2GB data cap. You can expect to get speeds similar to what a MiFi would bring, so about 1.5mbps down, and about 1mbps up. We talk briefly about the DLNA support which allows you to integrated multiple supported devices for multimedia playback. It's still unclear as to whether this standard will be popular, but a lot of new TVs and smartphones are coming with the standard built in. Then we do a web browser comparison against the iPhone 4 and Nexus One with Froyo. The results? The Droid X beat both devices most of the time in terms of page load times, which is great too see, and reflects the overall robust performance of the Droid X. Also, having the larger screen made web browsing more immersive.

Here I go one step further, showing all four major browsers on the same screen. All four browsers are using hardware acceleration (I think; not sure about Opera), but you can clearly see Firefox and IE9 beating Opera and Chrome (by some margin!) Again, choppy video -- my screen capture tool doesn't seem to like 60 FPS at all. More at: www.downloadsquad.com

Quick overview of how to take a garden variety web app built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and convert it to a native iPhone app using PhoneGap. In this example, I used jQTouch to style and animated the web app, but this would work with any web app or JavaScript framework.
