What Is "Deepfish" And Why Is It Important To You?

It used to be just Blackberry and the TREO that business professionals used as portable devices which had a mobile phone combined with built in business management tools, such as a web browser, calendar, to do list, e-mail, contact list, etc. The internet connections for these devices were provided by a mobile service provider.

Then came the Smartphone from Microsoft, with the Windows Mobile operating system, with built in Wi-Fi, which allowed you to get internet access wherever wireless internet was present. While the TREO in most cases had the Wi-Fi option available through an added component, it was simply inconvenient or unknown to most users.

Most business users who used the web browser features of these units had several challenges besides the tiny little QWERTY keyboard: The screen was too small to display a regular website, and some of the features such as java scripts, ActiveX, AJAX, and animation such as Flash, were not displayed.

The web designers were asked to optimize the sites so that they would display on the above mentioned devices. It was not only an expensive process, but even after the optimization, the sites still did not show up to the user's liking. In some cases, since changes were needed on the regular website so that they could be made "mobile friendly," they did not look right on a normal desktop.

Microsoft claims to have come up with a solution, which they have called Deepfish. Deepfish is not a new web browser, but a feature which adds functionality. Visit http://labs.live.com/deepfish/videos.asp to see how Deepfish works.

According to Microsoft, Deepfish provides:

A familiar look and feel of web pages on mobile as seen on desktop.

Bandwidth optimized rendering for faster content delivery.

Address bar web navigation.

Intuitive zooming, panning and cue map for quick navigation and browsing.

Support for simple link navigation and form submission.

I believe this is a good start. Keep in mind, Deepfish is early in its development cycle and is a step or two from the beta version. As a result, features such as java scripts, ActiveX, AJAX and animation, such as Flash, are still not supported. I am sure this will be a challenge for other mobile browser providers to come up with a solution of their own.
