1. ➶ CNET UK benchmarks iOS 4.3 & iPad 2 Javascript Performance

    iPhone 4 sees a dramatic improvement (10,400ms to 4151ms), whilst the iPad 2 is faster yet at 2097ms (all on the SunSpider test).

    Google’s Nexus S is currently at 6128ms - though I’d imagine that’ll see a big performance update at I/O later in the year.

    Not only are the speed gains in 4.3 dramatic, Apple’s own push of the Javascript improvements was particularly notable - in Wednesday’s keynote, it was the first thing touted in the new update.
