Thanks for the update, Gavin. Concerning your table, note that the T- Mobile G1 does not actually run at its rated 528 MHz but only at 384 MHz as reported by Romain Guy, apparently to prevent overheating and a still shorter battery life.
> Just as an interesting aside, would you say that we program in Java? Yes, definitely Java, derived mostly from Sun's Java SE rather than Sun's Java ME (J2ME). Sun's javac Java compiler is actually part of the Android tool chain for generating Java VM bytecodes from the Android (i.e. Java) source, after which further conversions take place to end up with Android's Dalvik bytecodes. Of course Android uses many android.* library extensions of its own, but IMO that does not change the language as such. BTW, your prior "lost" thread is at http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/9b99d9e8ff7568df but for some reason a list search and even a list of my own posts did not turn it up. > I get confused with how a programming language is defined, by the > syntax, core libraries or compiler maybe? Some people may want to change names for legal or branding reasons. See for an older viewpoint on the intricacies also http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-11-13-n83.html Regards On Jun 13, 4:36 pm, Gav <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Sorry to repost, I keep getting rejected from gmail and I can't find > my thread here. > > In any case; > > Sorry for the slow response, currently witting my dissertation which > covers such topics, please remember to bug me directly and I will post > my full report. > > Blindfold is correct, the second graph is for the G1. > > Specs are now in a png on the project homepage (http://code.google.com/ > p/android-benchmarks/) with another set of test results for a median > filter. > > Thank you for your insight David, I'll get on making the recommended > adjustments as soon as possible.
