i wouldn't mind testing the .XAP for WP7.5

what version (or versions) of droid you gonna build on first?

I use the iPad a LOT, and see absolutely no reason to run SpeedTest in anything but the browser. The only possible reason that I could imagine that you'd do it is for the exposure.

By "do it" I mean develop an app for iOS. No need as afar as I'm concerned.

Sorry about the "SpeedTest" above, I meant "testmy"

Qualifier: If the browser isn't affecting the results, then the browser SpeedTest is fine. But from a business perspective, I would think the app would be the better case. An interface to the website in the app would bring people here. I too browse for apps on Google and websites before going to the AppStore. The stores take too much of your time finding what you want. But with a good rating, people will come from the store.

just saw this topic and i have only one minor detail to put in here....I love having "full" internet on my droid x...but at the same time, i get pissed off at my pinch and zoom and what not on the browser...yes the browser works fine and i do speed tests occasionally on it, but in my mind i still hate having to pinch and zoom and scroll across the screen back and forth just to read some posts or to look at my results in detail. stuff like that. sure like i said, it works fine on the browser, but too many small things annoy me about such a small screen  and a full sized web page. which is why i like a light weight app. on other forums, it lets me surf the forums, post up, etc. without having to deal with accidentally swiping a link or something while trying to scroll/zoom in. and if i want some of the extra things on the app, it goes ahead and opens the browser to that page. simple as pie.

sorry for a late reply about all this, just felt like i should put my 2 cents in.

RyanS. I too had the same compromised experience with my iPhone. It was great, but at the same time frustrating. the iPad is the perfect solution. No more pinching and stretching and hitting links. It's size, weight,, everything about it is pretty much perfect. I've never tried an Android tablet so I can't  talk to it's strengths and weaknesses. I literally use it all the time. My phone is a phone again with email  and a camera which it's great at.
