On My iPhone (2) - Speedtest

speedtest A long time ago, on a distant blog in a far away galaxy, I blogged about Internet speed meters.  One of the ones I liked the best – and still do – is located at Speedtest.  Well . . . perhaps it was only a matter of time before they released an iPhone version of the Speedtest speed-o-meter!

Here’s what it looks like and it works as advertised. 

I especially like the version for the desktop/laptop and I’m glad that they have taken the time to implement a test for the iPhone.  That makes for some interesting comparisons and measurements.  I’ll post a couple of comparisons later: one of the most interesting is comparing a laptop with an iPhone on the same subnet.  The iPhone appears to be much slower.
