The State of Confusion Appears to be a Purple State


Just something that I just found out. You can get to three different Google home pages on the android phone:


The homepage stored on the device is fastest, the normal one has the most features, and the mobile one just looks weird on the small screen. I take this as another piece of evidence that the Google phone browser is not on the same scale of the iPhone. All apple did to prepare their homepage for the iPhone is optimize it to look best on both a desktop browser and Mobile Safari. Apple: EDGE speeds, ubiquitous access, and an intuitive browser. Google: 3G speeds, less coverage, and weak webpage navigation.


Both Safari and the Android browser are based off of the same code, WebKit/KHTML. However, in interfaces, it seems Apple always comes out on top.
