As you can see in the video, the webpage is completely loaded, fast scrolling or slow scrolling it doesnt matter. Doesnt matter what site, it happens on all, all the time. For a $700 device, you would think it wouldnt do this. I mean do our computers do it? Maybe ones from 1992 running Pentium 2 CPUs.

Im actually considering getting a playbook, cause from the time i was in the store yesterday playing with playbook it was seamlessly faster and smoother.

you can always pick out a few minor things... and specific websites that show up flaws in software... wether is iPad or anything else. Whats your point?

The issue with the websites is an optimization used by developers to conserve resources.
Keeping a whole webpage loaded requires usage of resources, so instead they only load the content that is viewed and leave the rest unloaded.
This is pretty much an easy way to optimize, and honestly one of the worst ways. I am not surprised to see iOS utilize this type of optimization, it is pretty typical of Apple to use easy optimization that sacrifice other areas.

I guess I don't see the issue. My Droid X does the same exact thing when loading websites. Also, if you are going to show a "proof" video, the least you can do is link one that is an accurate test. The PlayBook vs iPad is an unfair comparison as that it the original iPad. Of course the dual-core PlayBook (which has more RAM) is going to load content faster. That would be like me comparing the boot times of a PowerBook G4 to a new quad-core Dell XPS 15 with SSD only to make the claim that Apple is teh sucksorz and Windows is teh ba-bomb! The videos comparing the PlayBook to the iPad 2 still put the iPad 2 ahead, you might want to take a look at them instead of posting a video that was made way before the iPad came out and is clearly comparing a first generation product to a second generation release.

Wow, that is atrocious. I have an iPad 1 and was thinking of getting 2 specifically for improved performance on webpages. Looks like I made the right choice in not upgrading.

look at the date for the speed comparison video you provided.
here is a more up to date speed test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOrm0TlaLkg

It's not all sunshine on a BlackBerry Browser.

Getting a playbook would be the worst choice you could make, it's pretty much dead right out of the gate. RIM failed to get the playbook "finished"
However I wasn't that impressed with the ipad 2. thus, the MBP I purchased instead.

What I don't get is why people don't do a little research before they blow their money. I see the OP has already run out to grab a playbook, he'll get it home, and be pissed off that it's not what he thought it would be, and he'll have no one to blame but himself.
And the biggest issue with the playbook? lack of 3rd party app support. For years developers asked RIM to make it easier to develop on the platform, and RIM ignored them, so now RIM is trying to scramble, but the developers have already bailed out and moved on to IOS and Android.
