Yes we know, you were disappointed that Steve chose to go with dingy Web 2.0 Apps and that no SDK was announced due to “security reasons”. Well iPhone or Web 2.0 haters (or both) you now have one more piece of data to strengthen your arsenal.

Safari’s Javascript is about 90 times slower than a 1.83 GHz iMac. While that huge leap in processor performance is astounding and expected it does reveal that developing Web 2.0 Apps for the desktop and iPhone isn’t as easy as a task




as once though.

Craig Hockenberry of Iconfactory decided to put the Application speeds of the iPhone to the tryout. A Web App and a native App were both pitted against each other.

While it’s Web based brother did poorly compared to an average Mac a native App by far obliterates the earlier by 7 to 226 times faster. Lets just hope that Apple really does have an SDK in the works…
