A few months back, Microsoft announced its new mobile browser for Windows Mobile, Microsoft Deepfish, which they claim allows desktop-like web browsing experience, as the user would be able to zoom in and out the web pages, being able to view what they are interested in much more clearly. It also adopts a multi-resolution approach in its page browsing, where it loads a thumbnail of pages initially and then load only what is needed for more detail when requested or in the background as you browse the initial the view, resulting in substantially quicker load times for most pages.
But based on its current features set, it’s doesn’t have any cutting edge to stand up against other mobile browsers like Opera Mobile, which is doing pretty well in the mobile device market, and its cross-platform too, as it runs not only on Windows Mobile. Other than that, Mozilla is also branching out into the mobile device market, with their minimo.2 , which currently only supports Windows Mobile.
But the most hyped of them all, is Apple’s Safari for iPhone, though it runs only on the iPhone, man…it already has its own growing community of iPhone Web Developers, and Apple even released Safari for Windows, targeted to allow developers to develop applications for iPhones.
With the hype all around Web 2.0 websites, the next stage, Web 3.0 applications could very well be web applications running on mobile devices, and with the release of iPhone, Apple is heading towards the right direction, which I mentioned in my previous post here, imagine if in the future they actually include support for Flash, it’ll be revolutionary (the iPhone already is).
Well, there is still nothing concrete about stuff like flash support for Safari on iPhone, even when Robert Scoble did his best in digging more information from Adobe.
Conclusion? Deepfish would need something ground breaking, and support for Silverlight would be a great start
