Microsoft’s new technology “Deepfish” was revealed at the eTech Conference this week. A new mobile web browsing technology, Deepfish has been designed to be more like the desktop surfing experience. Director of Microsoft Live Labs, Dr Gary Flake, claims that this new technoogy has the ability to show webpages “as designed”. If Deepfish is successful, this will mean no more waiting several minutes to download one page that doesn’t look anything like the page you expected - a significant move forward for mobile technology. Web pages will no longer have to be designed especially for mobile consumption, but will be displayed on a user’s mobile device exactly as originally intended.

Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to take the Beta version of Deepfish for a swim as there was only limited availability, if I am called up in the seond round, check back here for a full report on how useful it really is! Check out the MSN Live Labs website for further information.
