Hot off the heels of Microsoft's announcement to back the ZenZui Zooming User Interface, the software giant unveils its own mobile Web browser.
Just days after the Microsoft-funded ZenZui Zooming Interface launched, Microsoft announced its own mobile Web browser application, Deepfish. Most mobile phones can only open paired down versions of Web pages that don't include the details and graphics that are available on their desktop counterpart sites. In many cases if a site is too elaborate, the Web browser will distort the page if it opens it at all. According to Microsoft, the goal of Deepfish is to bring computer-quality Web pages to mobile devices.
Deepfish will employ zooming, panning and a cue map to navigate through Web sites quickly. Microsoft also claims that the mobile Web browser will use an optimized bandwith for speedy page loads. The application will also have a series of thumbnail images for Web pages that fit on the smaller screen of a cell phone more clearly.
According to Microsoft, Deepfish is still early in its development and some features are not yet operational. However, a preview of the program can be downloaded to Windows Mobile devices, but according to the Deepfish Web site access is limited.
