Apple "After what were surely a few extra pots of coffee last night, Apple released iPhone OS 2.2, the latest update to its operating system for the iPhone and iPod touch. As with the 2.1 update just over two months ago, Apple administered a healthy dose of new features and fixes throughout the OS and a handful of applications, many of which we saw previewed over the last couple months. Let's take a look at the most significant changes, some appreciated polish, and recap what's still missing."

I had too see if there was any improvement in Safari, and though my testing hasn't been exhaustive yet (or even close), it does seem a lot quicker.

I have Safari on the iMac here through wireless, which would load pages many times faster than Safari on the iPhone with the same network. I understand that rendering speeds will be an issue, but I couldn't see why it was that much slower...

Anyway, it is still a lot slower under 2.2, but "feels" faster than 2.1. It's getting closer to being usable now... Seems a lot nicer to use too...

(don't you love comments with vague words like "feels" and "seems" etc :-)

The hardware in your iMac is much more powerful, that's why it's faster. Hop on an old 400mhz PC and modern web pages will render very slowly as well.
