Microsoft discontinues mobile browser project
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week stopped supporting Deepfish, its mobile browser research project that was an example of the company's software-plus-services strategy.
The Deepfish browser displayed Web pages on Windows Mobile phones just like they look on a PC and then let users zoom in and out of parts of the page they were interested in examining closer. The browser worked in conjunction with Microsoft servers that delivered the Web pages to the phones.
Microsoft first announced that it was working on the project in 2007 but started developing the browser the previous year.
