Sony Claims PS3 Javascript Performance Is Better Than IE7's

Posted by Soulskill on from the ouch dept.

Scorpinox writes "According to Sony Online Entertainment, the latest 2.50 update to the Playstation 3, which added Flash 9 support, is 'not up to the level of Google Chrome,' but 'beats Internet Explorer 7' in Javascript performance. The article goes on to say 'Sony has actually been working on Flash 9 support for quite some time — as far back as late last year. To get it running on the PS3, Sony ended up customizing a separate Flash implementation that was provided to it by Adobe.'"

    Most users of Linux on non-x86 platforms should be twitching violently from reading that quote.

    Adobe have consistently refused to give their code to anyone. They wouldn't even give it to Apple for use on the iPhone.

    I wonder what changed. Are Adobe and Sony both members of the Evil League of Evil?
