Android 2.2 vs. iOS 4 (JavaScript Performance)

Froyo iOS 4 FI

Google’s Android 2.2 OS (Froyo) has brought some significant performance benchmarks to the table. This performance boast is brought to us by a new just-in-time compiler which was introduced in the Android Dalvik environment.  The browser appears to have been seriously optimized making it a definite front runner in the mobile arena.

Ars Technica had this to say about the review they conducted:

“In our recent review of Android 2.2, we conducted some tests on the Nexus One to measure the extent of the JavaScript performance improvements. SunSpider and V8 benchmarks show that JavaScript execution in Froyo’s Web browser is almost three times faster than in the previous version of the platform.”

They compared their finding of the two browsers only to discover that the Android performed significantly faster in terms of JavaScript execution than the iPhone 4. The results were that the Android device (Nexus One) was two to three times faster in their SunSider and V8 test beds.

Oh Froyo how I love thee…thoughts?
