DeepFish

Looks like MS wants to please me these days or somehing :) After awesome test of PupFly I got to test DeepFish.

What DeepFish is is basicly a new way to browse the web via mobile device. The technology is somewhat similar to SnapPreview. When you want to navigate to some page, the request is sent to their web-service, the web-service generates a preview JPEG image and sends it back to you. The JPEG is way smaller than the actual page, so obviously it will take far less time to load it. Then you can zoom in and out on the page to read stuff etc. You can also use forms (it loads the actual page segment when you request it to).

Basicly - DeepFish is an awesome idea. But it's on a very early stages yet. Not everything is working, and obviously not the best user expirience. I bet when they are finish with this it will rock everybodies mind! :)
