Feedback - iPad2 vs iPad1 speed tests for opening apps

 

Rob,

 

I just got my iPad 2 on Friday (3/18), my new and old iPads are 64Gig Wifi only.

I have tested app opening speeds between the two, with the apps not running (closed in multitasking), launched both at the same time on both (well as close as I can).

With all non-ios apps I am seeing a ½ to 7 sec faster on the iPad 2; the iPad 2 got to the apps main user screen ½ to 7 sec before the iPad got to the same screen.

 

Some of these apps may use the internet during start up.

 

App name                                          (opening speed diff)

Angry Birds HD                                 (3sec)

The Weather Channel MAX+         (4sec)  [internet required]

Keynote                                             (2sec)

TII                                                       (7sec) [uses internet but not required]

Cut the Rope                                    (3sec)

Tron Legacy                                      (5sec)

Flight Control HD                             (4sec)

Amazon                                             (2sec) [internet required]

Apple Store                                       (2sec) [internet required]

Target                                                (4sec) [internet required]

Southwest                                         (3sec) [internet required]

Kindle                                                 (3sec) [uses internet but not required]

Netflix                                                (3sec) [internet required]

AutoDesk SketchBook Pro             (3sec)

Starwalk                                            (1/2sec)

Pandora Radio                                 (3sec) [internet required]

 

After the Apps are running in multitasking there is no opening speed diff between the two (well faster than my eyes).
