Javascript power to weight ratio. What's yours? Click here, wait for the result and divide it by your device weight in kilos. E.g the Aigo MID with ff3.0 scores 18 which, with 0.35kg gives a jp/w of 51.4 http://bit.ly/v8v3benchmark - http://code.google.com/apis...
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 :)))
- jean-paul
it hung on an S60 phone for me in the same place. Good to know that Opera completes the task although for some reason, their browsers always seem to be poor at Javascript.

Still haven been able to test Skyfire to see how well ajax works and how the latency is. I guess I could RDP to my server at home and get a similar 1000+ result though ;-) I'll post why I dont like the proxy solutions soon.

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...

Fujitsu Loox U/B50n 1.6ghz with chrome v1.0154 = 395 / 0.58 = 681 (looks like latest chrome is slower!)
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
tried tear just now, on the old N800, interestingly enough that got me, 18,8 / 0.206 = 87,38! what a difference that is compared to the microb test i did some time ago...

not sure whats going on here, the first two is two kinds of writes, the third is a rewrite, and the last two is two kinds of read. the read speeds on the netwalker is confusing. btw, the chart is in kilobytes pr second.
its a single 16GB SSD in there, beyond that i am not sure.
- turn.self.off
ok.. so it should be 30/8 .. like u said, similar what your test is showing..
- jkkmobile
so netwalker would be about 7/15 read/write.. which is really slow.. but i have no ide how Ubuntu for ARM uses it...
- jkkmobile
i think this may be the first time i have seen a ssd thats faster on write then on read ;)

now they are showing a little performance race between a netbook and a laptop by copying pictures on both platforms. of course the laptop outperforms the netbook. they should use my nc10 with the Runcore SSD, it would kick the hell outta this notebook when performing this operation ;)

If Moblin is for existing netbook and Moorestown platforms, Pinetrail won't break compatibility surely. Pinetrail likely to be a variant of Moorestown?
No one knows the GPU core on Moorestown or PineTrail yet.
- Steve 'Chippy' Paine
if done right, pinetail will be a superset of moorestown. And in any case, the moblin interface is clutter based, right? So its using opengl to accelerate 2D. And even older intel onboard gpu (if one can call them that) should be able to handle it, in theory.

119% of the europeans own a mobile phone (only 80% of the US-Americans do). Also way ahead of the US in terms of highspeed internet connections. "Europe can advance even further as a generation of "digitally savvy" young Europeans becomes a strong market driver for growth and innovation."...

@theovalich i can't agree more with you. 3G in the US just sucks big time.Well it's a matter of the distances and the infrastructure. Germany has a pretty good HSUPA coverage, too (i love good upload bandwidth!). Here in Taipei the 3G is something in between the US and European bandwidths. Not bad but also not great

I think my thesis that Twitter does practically nothing right can be shown by them doing a maintenance in the middle of a conference that exists solely to give them a big reach-around. Nicely done! Time to mark off "Create a cluster fuck" on the to-do list. I'm curious what is being said in the room.
Me personally, I might have waited until later tonight or at least until the #140conf hash tag died down a little bit before doing this, but I don't have the Twitter decision making pizzazz.
- Dave Slusher
I'm picturing a bunch of Twitter dorks sitting in a room madly refreshing their iPhones and laptops in dead silence.
- Paul Reynolds
Rare that I jump to their defence, but for once it isn't Twitter, it's their data centre host pushing out some required (and long overdue, apparently) upgrades. http://blog.twitter.com/2009... If they don't do that then we will probably be in for an extended period of Fail Whale...
- Andy Bold
Besides, paying someone to do "maintenance" in the middle of the night costs money (just like infrastructure and technology improvements)! They'd never be able to milk VC dollars until retirement age with that type of thinking.
- Paul Reynolds
given how the net never sleeps, there will in theory never be a right time to take down a service of global reach for maintenance...

I don't think other parts of the globe were having a "We love Twitter" conference like New York City was, were they?
- Dave Slusher
Every web site/app (even worldwide ones) has a cyclical pattern of traffic. Given the patterns I've seen, I can't imagine ANY pattern that has the middle of the afternoon in the US as being the low point of that cycle. Doing production pushes during peak business hours has never been an option at any of the places I've worked and I've worked a LOT of places.
- J Wynia
They didn't say what the specific reconfiguration was (and I would not expect them to), but I am kindof surprised that anything NTT America needs to do would render the site completely unreachable for so long. You mean twitter didn't already have multiple redundant connections to the net? Or that it couldn't be staged so as to leave at least one of the connections up at each stage of the process?
- DGentry
There's the key point. This service that is trying to be crucial infrastructure and that has received buckets of VC cash all lives inside a single data center? Seems like bad form, bad planning, bad decision making to me. It's not so much that Twitter does this thing or that thing wrong, it's that management has a long term history of bone headedness and poor planning. This isn't an occurrence of an event, it's the way they do business.
- Dave Slusher
stopped counting after some 5-6. i wonder tho, does it multiply by the number of devices, as i would say this applies for my phone and my N800 equally...
- turn.self.off
clearly no but then I don't use it for email, don't use it for music (dont use mobile music anymore, cuts me off from people and i like people better). My ringtone is low so I can ignore it if concentrated or in a discussion with someone. I did answer yes to #1 though, as someone looking for a job I dont like to forget my phone. I can easily not check my email for hours, or the net - and I could even when working as a CTO/CIO :D
