Tired of hearing how fast the iPhone 3GS is? Too bad...here's yet another study of the browsing speed of the new iPhone 3GS and the new iPhone 3 OS. Medialets ran the SunSpider Javascript tests on three recent iPhones as well as the Palm Pre and the Android G1. The results are below (shorter bars are better).
This is a pretty clear indication that not only is Apple's new hardware fast, but the new 3.0 OS is also pretty helpful in speeding up Javascript.

iPod Touch 2G speed?
Does the iPod Touch 2G run at the same speed as an iPhone 3G?
nope, slightly faster

It'd be interesting to have
It'd be interesting to have some other devices here, like the BlackBerry Storm and the 1st gen iPhone.
Hopefully, Apple will get Safari 4.0's engine on OS 3.1. that'd be a substantial improvement.
What is so surprising to me
What is so surprising to me is that the 3.0 software made such a drastic difference in speed. Judging from these results, the software made an even bigger difference than the hardware. Very cool.
my 3G with OS 3 is slow
Don't know why, and haven't read anything about it, it's like everybody's got a bust thanks to OS 3.0 but since the day I upgraded to it, I have noticed that my iPhone's response to almost everything is higher. It really slowed down performance. Actually, I have seen it crash, quit and freeze sometimes, mostly on Safari... But almost everything is slower in here, like to open your address book, to write a SMS, don't know why though :S
I can confirm that. My iPhone
I can confirm that. My iPhone 3G is definitely slower since I installed OS 3.0 Especially when the keyboard comes up, it takes ages - compared to 2.x - until I can actually start typing. Not nice. Also, when I close a program, in 70% of all cases the fade-out effect doesn't appear, it just quits.

OS 3.0 makes my 3G run faster
OS 3.0 makes my 3G run faster in browser mode, and crash less often. The only annoying thing is that when I go into an elevator, I get 55 notices that network connection has been lost. Kind of like my ex-wife nagging me, and again, and again, and again.
