I think you've missed the mark on a few points. As far as I know safari has the fastest javascript engine no matter where it runs, including ARM. It also supports local storage without google gears, buy using html5 local storage. With html5 I'm not sure what the point of gears is. As far as native client is concerned regarding ARM, it'll probably happen but not because of the iphone and android, they have ways of running native apps. Apple wants you to use the app store and as far as I know android locks you into a vm so you'd need to write custom code anyway. It'll be for chrome os on netbooks. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/24/iphone-3gs-javascript-performance-blows-away-rivals-approaches-macbook-speed/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/24/iphone-3gs-javascript-p... http://webkit.org/blog/126/webkit-does-html5-client-side-database-storage/ http://webkit.org/blog/126/webkit-does-html5-client-side-dat... http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/05/gmail-for-mobile-html5-series-common.html http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/05/gmail-for-mo...

Chrome is faster than safari on Mac http://www.manu-j.com/blog/safari-vs-firefox-vs-chrome-on-mac-javascript-performance/355/ http://www.manu-j.com/blog/safari-vs-firefox-vs-chrome-on-ma... The point of google gears is that you can get the HTML5 features in IE and other older browsers. It also has some features like drag and drop which AFAIK is not present in HTML5

  Well if benchmark was against nighty build of chrome it would make more sense to benchmark with WebKit nightly. Drag and drop is present in HTML five and works in FF3.5, Safari4 and… Internet Explorer! It is actually based on MS implementation which was first introduced a while back in IE5.

    The reason I don't test webkit is that it is not clear what improvements in webkit land up in Safari. Unlike chrome or safari where a release is just a tagged nightly, wbkit nightlies never directly become Safari.

      Sure they do. A whole bunch of changes that have been accumulating in the WebKit nightly builds just became available when Safari 4.0 was released, not the least of which was Squirrelfish Extreme, which was branded as "Nitro" in Safari 4.x. I'm not sure how one could miss that, between Google, Wikipedia, Apple marketing pages and webkit.org.
