iPad/iPhone 3G Speed Difference Illustrated Using Plants vs. Zombies Launch Times

Anyone who has played one of my favorite iPhone games, Plants vs. Zombies, knows that it takes a long time to start up on an iPhone or iPod touch. However, if you’ve bought Plants vs. Zombies HD for the iPad, you have a totally different perspective. PvZ starts lightning fast on the iPad.

While I acknowledge that the code for PvZ for the iPhone and PvZ HD for the iPad are not the same, I thought it would be interesting to watch the two PvZ versions start up side-by-side in a video.

PvZ for iPad is ready for game play about 10 seconds after it was launched on the iPad.
