I’ve had a lot of people contact me requesting that I run the speedtest app; both over EvDo and Wi-Fi. Results can vary wildly for both, so this really doesn’t reflect what you should expect. But you wanted to see it, so here it is. There is also a quick demo of the browser over EvDo.
I have two Hero videos left: the camera review and final questions. I still have some to get to, but now is the time to ask yours if you haven’t yet.

Will the hero and samsung moment be able to upgrade to Android 2.0?

I am confused on the running of games in the browser. Do games work if they do not require anything but the mouse? Also, can you run hulu in the browser? What version of the flash player is the Hero running on, does this version display almost all flash content or just some?

The only thing these speed tests show me is that I'm making the right decision waiting for a phone with a modern processor. The processor in this phone (and most of the smartphones on the market - it's cheap) has been around for over 8 years. I know it takes some time to develop a system around a chip, but this is crazy. Hold out for a phone with a Cortex A8 processor (i.e. Snapdragon, TI OMAP 3xxx), like the Motorola DROID or Acer Liquid A1. If you can't wait, grab a Palm Pre (swap WebOS out for Android if you want) or (if you must) an iPhone 3GS. Anything else is last generation... it would be like buying a computer with a Pentium 4 in it right now with Core 2's and Core i5/7's blowing them away. Eventually enough people will point out that everything just works better on the Cortex processors, the masses will catch on, and manufacturers will stop giving us otherwise perfect phones crippled by a cheap processor. Or maybe I'm just living in a dream world.

Nice! I found that app last night. Getting 2000+ kbit/s on my Sprint Hero. Taking for sharing
I don't think the top number is an average, because my last test ended with the top number equal to the maximum, and it surely did not average that speed.
what is that app?
it's called speedtest
