Apple's iOS 5 now tops at HTML5 speed test

Microsoft-Apple-HTML5-speedtest-sm.jpg
Last April, Microsoft posted a demo showing the then-experimental Windows Phone Mango and its Internet Explorer 9 Mobile boasting a significantly higher score on a custom-made HTML5 test than either Android or iPhone. Apple has swiftly turned the tables, however, as the latest beta of iOS 5 shows MobileSafari now surpassing the current IE 9 mobile score by a significant margin, WinRumors reports....

As much as I love to tinker with browsers and run tests and such, they are so utterly useless in the grand scheme of things given that everyone seems to have their own test(s). Apple has SunSpider, Mozilla has Dromaeo, Google has V8 and so on. It's also been argued that browser makers tailor their browsers to pass the tests just so they can brag about it (some have argued that browser makers rushed to support Acid3 so they could claim the title).

That said, it does push developers to add support for features. As long as they do it right, I'm happy.

I have always (for a long time now) felt that most synthetic benchmarks were flawed. It is fun to test browsers though. Acid 3 was a Web Standards test and I was always amazed just how bad IE did back then compared to anything else.

IE9 finally does rather well, but I am still not trusting it.
