Keynote’s Mobile Minute quotes a study by The Yankee Group that states it measured website performance comparing a desktop computer with a tablet and a smartphone (the ubiquitous iPhone and iPad) and lo and behold, the results showed that the tablet was 8X slower than the desktop.
Of course, the desktop was probably connected via wired 1GB Ethernet, while the tablet and phone were connected via Wi-Fi and 3G, but who’s counting. (The blog entry I saw doesn’t have a link to the data so I can’t confirm my prejudicial reaction.)
Why not expend bits on something that’s not obvious?
