Blaze Software took more than 45,000 measurements on the most recent versions of Android and iOS - Android 2.3 and iOS 4.3 - to see which smartphone had the fastest browser. In a test of 1,000 Web sites, Blaze found that the Android phone, in this case a Google Nexus S, was faster than the iPhone 4 84 percent of the time.

Android 2.3 had a median load time of 2.144 seconds while iPhone’s median load time was 3.254 seconds.
