JavaScript Test Proves MeeGo To Be Better Than Android 2.2

Recently, the folks over at Carrypad put Nokia's new OS, MeeGo, through the same Sunspider JavaScript tests that both iOS 4 and Android 2.2. Nokia's mobile OS of choice turned out to be rather impressive during the test boasting a 4.2 seconds. Compared to iOS 4 which took 10.9 seconds and Android 2.2 which took 5.8 seconds, looks like Nokia is headed in the right direction. To be fair, the Aava phone being used to conduct these tests packs a 1.5 GHz Intel Moorestown processor (the Sunspider JavaScript tests lean heavily on a mobile processor) and is actually not a production phone. Another thing to note though is that the tests used FireFox Mobile and not the MeeGo manufactured browser (giving MeeGo a chance to perform possibly better or worse, depending on how Nokia designed their software). Regardless though, the speed tests are pretty impressive. All we need now is a production MeeGo handset to test that out and compare it to the other mobile OS's more realistically.
