Microsoft releases "Deepfish" browser for Windows Mobile

I have a Dell Axim X51v PDA and it runs on Windows Mobile 5, it is a great PDA with good function but the sad things about it is the PDA browser, the Pocket IE sucks, so bad to the extend that it is pointless to even include it in the PDA. Opera Mobile seems to be light years ahead of what Microsoft Pocket IE, but not for long. Deepfish from Microsoft is the next generation browser for Windows Mobile 5 and above, one of the unique feature is the zoom in view, something like what Apple’s iPhone offering where it render the entire page and you have the ability to zoom into certain section you highlighted. So much for innovation, another reason why Microsoft sucks and a solid proof again that Microsoft is a copycat.

The Deepfish Technology Preview enhances existing mobile browsing technologies by displaying content in a view that is closer to the desktop experience. Our zoom-able interface and cue map allow you to quickly access the information you care about over the web without ever losing track of where you are.

The Minimo Project – PDA Web Browser

The Minimo has been focused on code-size and runtime footprint reduction, small screen usablity, and porting to small consumer devices. The Mozilla guys hope to make Minimo the browser of choice on small devices, or machines with limited system resources; taking advantage of Mozilla’s support for a broad and comprehensive set of standards and the variety of content on the web, proven security, international support, and cross platform capability.

I’ve tested it on my Dell Axim x51v and I have to say minimo is a big let down, it takes up too much memory, cause a slight lag when I run other applications. With the iPhone around the corner, future phone are bound to have a wide screen with wifi, this is where Mozilla comes in. Mozilla’s minimo has a lot of improvement to do if they are serious about wining over the crowd.
