umm.. seriously?

how about you run the same test with an ipad overclocked to 2k ghz considering youve overclocked that droid by basically the same margin.

i know anything sensational and accusational with ipad in the title will get you adsense hits but seriously?

im kinda glad i run adblock right now.

Xscope is pretty beast I am really liking it.

We have regular test speeds on a 2.1 Droid on our site information. It came with xScope in Tutorial

I kind of wish this test was using a standard un-overclocked Droid. I'd prefer tests of products, side by side, un-enhanced. Not that the Droid doesn't rock – it does, But the when you have to say “well, we overclocked the Droid to a non-recommended (by Manufacturer) speed to beat the ipad, it seems kind of diminished.

I have Xscope as my default. It's pretty quick. Images look good. But one thing is that Market links don't work in Xscope. they do work in Dolphin & stock browser.

Looks good but I'm not sure I would call that “dominating”

Hmm… pleasing, but seems disingenuous to test a modded, overclocked Droid against a stock iPad. I'd be interested to see how a Droid running stock 2.1 did in the same test.

xscope has free lite version. I remember it is 30% faster on the sunspider test over dolphin. Here is the bechmark link and try it yourself and tell us your result.

is xscope better than dolphin?
in terms of speed?
and how do the images look on it?
i didn't like the default browser because the text would get all blurry when scrolling
does that happen in xscope?

But unfortunately, the DROID DOESn't do that well not overclocked. I fell like it should at least come around 700 MHz stock

I also find it amazing that were still seeing the potential of the Droid and to be honest I still think their is plenty more yet to be unveiled. This is a really powerful device and its either keeping up or beating all the latest phones/devices coming out. Once again we have more evidence on how much DROID DOES!!!!!!

Yeah Kellex, I'm amazed by the Droid just by looking at it. And what you said about being amazed after 5 months of being released, I totally agree.

I've followed your site since early December and I gotta tell you...you've never seem to disappoint. Thanks for the site.
