If you have been wondering if Froyo (Android 2.2) is living up to expectation (in terms of speed), maybe this video can help you to understand more. Engadget has put Froyo and iOS 4 to the test based on Browser speed. Check out the video.
Before the video. The tests was conducted because Ars Technica has posted a comparison of browser experience based on iPhone iOS 4 and Nexus One Froyo (Android 2.2). In their test on Javascript, Froyo is 3 times better than iOS 4.

In Engadget’s tests, they were more practical. Using the same phones, they did a test on 5 websites. In their test, both performance were almost the same. When they turned off the Flash support in Nexus One Froyo, Froyo seems to be just a little better. Watch the comparison video.

Well, I think this “battle” is not on the Javascript battle field. This just compare the webpage rendering ability of the browser.
So could you (Engadget) please make other videos about Javascript engine of these two browsers? It’s about visual DOM HTML effects on the site (for example), or you can use SunSpider to test it. I just have Nexus One, no iPhone 4.
