SPDY protocol support from Android browser?
Question
I wonder if Android browser supports Google's new SPDY protocol? I can find SPDY comments from Android's Chromium source codes, but I can't sure if it's fully implemented.
If it's enabled, I want to compare normal HTTP vs SPDY performance with Smart Phone.
Solution
Chrome for Android supports SPDY.
Amazon's Silk is also using SPDY, but the connection itself is proxied through Amazon's SPDY servers, so that's a slightly different use case.
OTHER TIPS
Android Browser since Honeycomb supports SPDY/2.
Interesting timing - Google released benchmarks for SPDY on mobile devices today.
