Can someone run this on an iPhone for me?

I just tried a few times to run this on my iPhone 3G 16GB. First time, it hung Safari. Second time, fresh after a reboot, it never completed, even though I let it run for about 10 minutes. Both times, it. Got to 57% complete, and the scores were: Richards 2, DeltaBlue 2, Crypto 5. Hope that helps, let me know if you want me to run it again! :-)

first run on my iPaq 614c with PocketIE : same as Josh - got to 57%, then 71% then device hanged ... Second try with Netfront 3.5 : stopped at 43% .. Third shot with Opera 9.5beta: completed ! score: 8 / .145 = 55 :)))

N800 for shits and giggles: 3/0,206 = 14,6. funny enough it wondered if i wanted to kill the javascript around step 3 or 4.
- turn.self.off
and now multiply the figure by the online battery life of your device and you have an index of internet mobility. Mmmm. Maybe im on to something here!
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
remind me, that archos is using cortex, yes? got to be somewhat bothersome that the older N800 scored as much as it did. or maybe that say something about the microb javascript, even before any kind of optimization...
- turn.self.off
The archos 605 is the old one. Not Cortex bassed but Opera, while accurate, isnt the best at javascript. I will contact Jenn to see if i can get a result from her.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
ah yes, i got my numbers crossed. that makes a bit more sense. and i recall having issues with javascript (to the point i left it off most of the time) back on my 770. but then that was also a weaker device then the N800, so...

Just to be clear, there are no Google apps, sync, marketplace in new firmware
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
and to be clear again, no Flash in browser.

Feeling some improved smoothness but again, could be because of clean build.

Do you see any "better" things at all? I think i like 1.5 font sizes/browser zoom better

Agree. Fonts much nicer. Browser zoombar position better. ZOom is slower IMO.

still no portrait homescreen. Always annoys me.

disagree. 1.6 is the stepping stone to many other things. You'll have to do it at some point.

13 test youtube videos worked. Starting up perfectly, quickly. This was working before though. Expecting it to crash at some point tho.

Anyone else testing it?

stepping stone to?

Archos won't be stopping here. If they can negotiate google apps, it will only come on 1.6.

I did some more javascript tests this morning. Android/ARM has made amazing steps forward in the last year but Chrome/X86 (intel Atom at same clockrate) is still 5-10 times faster at processing javascript. A Cortex core takes 0.5W at 800Mhz. An Atom 800Mhz takes 2W at 800Mhz. Based on that, Moorestown could be a more efficient javascript platform.
...which brings me to the question. Are javascript engines written on X86 and then simply ported to ARM or are there javascript engines out there that are specifically written for ARM. (E.g. Android browser)
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Google is making a fast Chrome browser for ARM to be released later this month.. That's what Chrome OS is all about..
- Charbax
So you think Chrome OS will be ARM-only Charbax?
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Chrome OS is both for ARM and X86. But I think the ARM version will be more Interesting. While the x86 version might provide only slightly cheaper netbooks (saving $30 Windows clicense for one), could be even cheaper at $199 if with 8GB flash instead of hard disk. But ARM Chrome OS will be about bringing fast and full browser experience on the cheapest ARM laptops as cheap as $80 or...

Not happy with IMAP. 1) The built in email client is poor. 2) I like to be able to search GB of emails on the server (imap can possibly do this, yes). Native app is critical for me and makes me think of Android or S60.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
If you need to search that much amount of e-mail then you are right, you need a web based app. I like the internal e-mail, but I only sync the last 30 days of every "folder" so it's allright.

- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Yes, Steve, you can change the text size easy on WM go to settings / system / screen, then got to text size and reduce it. The allways set it to big by default.
- Joao de Oliveira(BassoPT)
Thanks for the screen size tip. These settings are hidden under the Samsung UI. I had to turn it off to find it. What an amateur I am! I've gone to the smallest font setting and i've now got 5 email headers showing instead of three! Actually in portrait mode it's much better thanks.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
You have to go around the TouchFlo UI on the HTC devices too. They really made these new devices more productive with this new implementations over basic windows mobile, but sometimes they forgot to leave stuff, as simple as changing system fonts size, available to users.
- Joao de Oliveira(BassoPT)
SO far i'm quite impressed with the TouchWiz UI. It covers 95% of the UI and 100% of one's daily needs. I wonder how they will implement it on WM6.5 though because replacing WM6.5 components as they've done with 6.1 might actually be the wrong thing to do
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
I've been using WM6.5 on my HTC Touch Diamond 2 for a month now. Actually WM6.5 is pretty must just eye candy over 6.1, basic windows mobile features are abou the same. What you might have seen on screen shots and demos is a UI created by microsoft called Titanium, similar in many ways to TouchWiz or TouchFLO from HTC, but with way less features. What all manufactures are doing is...

RT @mobile_world: Smartbooks 2 compete with Mini-laptop http://www.pcworld.com/busines...
The 'smartbook' OS has a long way to go yet IMO. Moblin on Intel Moorestown could actually be one of the best options out there.

Starting some Live Mesh testing. Should help to store all my must-have software that I use when setting up a new device. Anyone else use it?
Yep. I have been using Mesh for quite a while now. I use if for storing files mostly, but I do have a directory of applications that have USB key style installs that I use to populate new/rebuilt machines. Recent upgrades have made the file copying much faster than in the past.

first i find it great. then Microsoft MyPhone was out, offering all PIM data backup and synchronization. i wonder when Microsoft will merge MyPhone and LiveMesh... so far, i m storing my favourite software cabs into a folder of my memory card :) it s easier then to re install a volonte ;) and as i m using Google Sync, my contacts and my calendar are always synched (tasks should come soon i hope!).

I'm using both LIveMesh & dropbox. I found that if you only want to have your files available in the cloud, dropbox is the better choice, but less storage & anything has to be in dropbox folder might be your dealbreaker.

I use Live Mesh to sync OneNote documents

Thanks for the note about Dropbox sipp11. So far Mesh is doing exactly what I wanted, that is, deep integration into windows folders. I've already shared a LiveWriter draft folder out to my co-editor Ben. We'll try working across the net US-Germany on a single folder for blog posts.

5hr 45mins and the battery level just dropped all the way down to 20%.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Woah! 5:49 and the battery level is at 5%. What a wonderful battery level indicator this is.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
and two minutes later it's shut down. Turning on again to remove the 3% shutdown level to see if it really has more than 3% left!.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
Nope. It really was dead. So thats a total of 5hrs 50mins on the 27wh battery. Average of 4.8W drain. Screen mostly off. Internet connected via GSM network. (low speed, low power) I really should run the test again with no internet connected but first I need to re-charge

What's Nokia going to show off at Nokia World if the N900 is already in the wild?
I think Maemo is the big one to talk about. The roadmap is going to be the one we all want to see.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
I hope not. Every time I meet WIT I learn a lot. Mix it up I say ;-)
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
I second that. @quimgil and @jkkmobile in Helsinki with the N900.... in English please ;-)
