How did you do this ? Probably not from the standard unix command line.
Yes, that was on the tablet's shell prompt. The only slightly non-standard thing about it is that bc came from the SDK repository, but echo and time are busybox applets.

More results:

Firefox 3.0.11 0.47 sec
Opera 9.64 0.74 sec

Tested on Sony Vaio 2.0 GHz running Kubuntu 8.10.

Nokia 5800 browser was unable to calculate, 2^500 took 5.53 sec, probably a javascript compatibility error.

Maybe stupid question, but a 400 MHz processor is five times slower than a 2 GHz, why are times more than ten times as slow even in the fastest browser ?
Because the frequency doesn't determine the speed of a device. Likewise a simple calculation can't show the overall javascript speed.

My iPod touch is running at 532 MHz and it ran in 4.18 seconds. If you use a simple linear comparison, those numbers match-up well with a Maemo webkit browser running in 5.6 seconds @ 400 MHz on the same ARM version.

Well, if its the same type of processor at different frequencies, then yes, but to compare ARM and i386 dual core is meaningless.
