Microsoft Unveils Mobile Web Browser

Microsoft Corp. has recently unveiled a new Web browser called Deepfish for mobile phones. The software is designed to enhance web browsing for smartphones. Microsoft says the software will make browsing full-sized Web pages faster and easier.

The software is designed to adjust a normal desktop webpage into a smaller image for mobile screen. It also has a function for users to zoom in on the part of the page they want 
to read or click on.

The software runs on technology borrowed from
 Sea Dragon, a software company that Microsoft recently acquired. Seadragon has made a statement that Deepfish is capable of living up to the following:
  • Speed of navigation is independent of the size or number of objects
  • Performance depends only on the ratio of bandwidth to pixels on the screen.
  • Transitions are smooth as butter.
  • Scaling is near perfect and rapid for screens of any resolution.
