Amidst all the hoopla following the release of Chrome Beta for Android, I decided to do my own comparative benchmarking: .

Once they get the browser fully baked with 2.0, it's time for RIM's engineers to think about JavaScript performance. They certainly have the horsepower to do better, and QNX should be a robust platform on which to build such optimizations, so...
