Performance of iPad under Wi-Fi was pretty good!

iPad/iPhone transmits raw data, so it could be a bandwidth eater.
On the other hand, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) reduces the size of the transmitting data so optimized to smaller screen (downto 1/23), that you will have no stress with BlackBerry + BES, somebody said.

I tried to verify that with my iPad, and I found iPad was not stressful at all.

What do you think?

-------------------------
My enrironment: iPad (in Japan) + Wi-Fi (160KBytes/s to the server in the U.S.)

-------------------------
1st experiment is this.

File size is
(1) PPT 372KB
(2) PDF 705KB
(3) TIF 193KB
(4) MS-Excel 17KB

I did 2nd experiment with larger files here .

File size is
(1) PPT 4873KB,
(2) TIF 6007 KB,
(3) PDF 7479 KB.

Good, isn't it?

Conclusion __________________
I'm happy about the comfortable throughput of iPad with Wi-Fi (no charge).
I can also recommend to my acquaintances to have iPad/iPhone in Japan (with Softbank Corp that can offer fixed charge for 3G even for overseas usage.)

But the transmitted data is not reduced/compressed at all.
I hope other Asian carriers don't underestimate the importance of fixed/lower 3G roaming charge for their customers to travel other countries, if they want to compete against BlackBerry.
