DeepFish, "Enhanced Browsing for Your Mobile Device"
DeepFish is a new Microsoft mobile technology which aims to provide a better mobile browsing experience. Enhanced is what it claims to be! Because I just call it a bug fix edition of the rendering engine of Internet Explorer for mobile with new zooming features. But how enhanced is rendering normal web pages correctly on mobile devices ?! The demo shown in video is realized with msn.com website, the only new things I saw in this demo is that Microsoft is showing its own bugs in a demo video (That’s how IE mobile currently render webpages). Otherwise opening a website of 300kb even if you render it correctly and open it fast, that is 300kb !! And that’s too much for mobile browsing, I don’t know how the current solution can handle such size in memory, I’m waiting my copy to test it, but my old Imate become very slow before opening any page. I finished by give it to mom, because I’m sure she will never surf the web with it. Anyway this is just a preview with very basic feature and tons of limitation : As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST. Seriously DeepFish : Go fish !
