Microsoft enters mobile browser war
War? What mobile browser war? I don’t know, but they sure are entering it with Deepfish.
Instead of loading simplistic WAP pages, Deepfish displays the full web page as a thumbnail. It then lets the user zoom in and out transferring only the portions their interested in to save bandwidth and improve page load times. The technology is currently in ‘preview release’ and a long way from commercial release.
Isn’t that kind of like Opera? Anyway, it’s probably a good thing that Microsoft bothers with the mobile internet, that’s a hint of what’s to come. Let’s take the leap, folks! 2007 is the year of the mobile, I’ve said that before.
