PocketNow.com performed a series of mobile web browser speed tests between Android 2.2 (Froyo) on Nexus One, Safari on iPhone 3Gs and Opera 10 on HTC HD2 and showed overall Google’s claim that Froyo’s browser is the “fastest mobile web browser” may be true most of the time if you have Flash turned off.

Flash 10.1 beta for Android does give you more of a desktop experience however at the expense of slower page load, as the browser continues to load Flash content, as well as scrolling becomes choppy. Hopefully Adobe improves this and not give Apple more justification and ammunition in their spats.
