Here's a 17 minute video I shot today showing off Deepfish, a new mobile web browser from Microsoft's "Live Labs". The video shows how Deepfish doesn't try to squash normal-sized web pages onto your mobile device's screen, but instead lets you scroll and pan smoothly, and zoom in to the parts of the page you want to read.

I also compare Deepfish to the default Pocket IE browser that comes with all Windows Mobile devices, so you can see what really makes it different.

This is a beta/tech preview of Deepfish, so there are some rough edges, but it's a very cool technology - similar to the mobile Safari browser that Steve Jobs showed off on the iPhone.

You can find out more about Deepfish, and sign up to be a tester at labs.live.com/Deepfish/. There's also another video overview on Microsoft's Channel 10.

This video was shot with my Canon XH A1 HDV camcorder at 1080i, then edited in Apple iMovie 6 HD and exported as a 320x240 Quicktime video file. It weighs in at 312 MB, and was cropped from 16:9 widescreen to standard 4:3 aspect ratio (and I chopped off the sides of some of the titles/credits in the process - oops!). Here's a direct download link to the movie file.

Let me know what you think, or if you have any questions! I don't have any affiliation with Microsoft, but I'll be happy to help if I can.
