Microsoft’s New Mobile Browser: Deepfish
Microsoft has released information and a video about their new mobile browser, Deepfish. It’s very similar to Apple’s mobile version of Safari. The entire web page is displayed, none of this "baby internet" that mobile users are used to. You can zoom in and out of the page to read the contents, and even move around the screen with your stylus. You can download it for free, but it is a limited beta so get it while you can. It’s available for any Windows Mobile 5+ device. Watch for it possibly be included in the upcoming Windows Mobile 6 OS.
UPDATE: Microsoft’s Larry Larsen has told us, "this was a limited preview and there was much more demand than they expected. Internal MS people can’t even get registration codes right now."

This reminds me a lot of Blackberry’s web browser with the zoom in zoom out view. Not that innovative MSFT…
Granted, the server side stuff is a neat feature, but it’s not clear if DeepFish can be applied to existing websites easily (like a funky proxy or wrapper) or if it’s so tough to do, it’s not worth it.
I installed it on my Dash running Windows Mobile 6 and my Treo 700wx. I gotta give it up to Microsoft for releasing a very cool application that’s gettting a lot of buzz. It’s working great on my devices.
no more slots available to download,
you know RIM should let Mozilla develop the firefox portable for there phones just to compete and make them jealous. Firefox > IE
@ jimmie geddes: spread the wealth man!
