A wireless mobile device's screen is a small, inconvenient window into web pages designed for large, wide-screen monitors. Technologies like WAP have tried to re-shape web sites to fit the small screen. This week Microsoft Labs announced  Deepfish, a new mobile device browser that delivers a thumbnail of the full page with the ability to zoom in to pieces of the site that are of particular interest. Deepfish has entered trials, with no estimated date given for release. When it is released, it will enter a market with deep interest in mobile browsers like Mobile Opera [1]. Both browsers promise increased functionality at critical web sites for those entering the Internet from a mobile platform. Neither require site providers to re-code their sites for the small screen. The combination promises to keep web users on the run, and that's the way they want it.
