Ported iOS Game 30% Faster on Blackberry Playbook

Seems like a mis-leading title, so it launches 30% faster after you clear it from the OS cache. While "interesting" it would be better to find a benchmark that can actually stress both devices or go beyond 60FPS to see which actually is faster.

Is it just me or did he press the icon first on the playbook, that will account for a 300-400ms difference.

Mostly noticeable on the second run.

Difference which makes this video/test mostly irrelevant. Give me 1 second or more and I will be impressed. That is the anecdotal difference on launches from iPhone 4S and previous devices)

30% sounds like a lot, but that looked like about 300-400 milliseconds, which isn't very interesting.

(That said, showing that you could port a native iOS app to RIM in X days would be an interesting metric, since the size of the App Store dwarfs the BB Store.)

(RIM, are you listening? No one cares about sub-second speed increases, Flash, external SD slots, multiprocessor whiz-bang GPUs, and most of the rest of your marketing material. Make a product that amazes my parents, and you've got something. Sell to the techies, and you seal your fate.)

So.. how are you loading textures? As it seems to me that that's the only thing happening there.

Kind of misleading title..

That is great. Too bad nobody owns a PlayBook :-)
