Here's a sneak peek at DeepFish, a web browser for Windows Mobile that gives you an easy way to look at entire pages and then zoom in to individual sections.
Information is sketchy thus far, but this looks like a positive step toward solving the inherent difficulties of browsing the web on a 3-inch screen. The browser is still in beta, and there's no word on when we might see a shipping version.
DeepFish browser for Windows Smartphone [mobility today]

Looks very nice. This may make my switch to Smartphone from WinMo Phone Edition a little less painful, since I'm acustomed to the awesomeness that is Opera for WinMo, which I believe isn't available for SmartPhone outside of the Java (yuuuuck) Opera Mini. I just can't go back to the awful PIE (this from a big IE7 fan).
The video makes it look blazing fast.
Looks like a clone of the Nokia Mobile web browser.

You have to pay now, bad, but there was a free beta version floating around a while back. It's great. You can browse in full-screen mode, or split screen where the bottom image is a zoomed-in version of where the little box is on the top image. You toggle twixt the two with one button, it's very nice and seamless, or at least the beta was.
take the final {period} off of the above url for it to, you know, work.
I'm no fan of browsers that make me zoom to see only a portion at a time. I much prefer the single column type options in Opera Mini or PIE.
Horizontal zooming is never good when browsing. Doubly so on a small screen device.
Hopefully the big issue will be addresses one day and create a better more powerfull handhelds that can handel a real browser. why load up devices with band-aids that take up space and running memory.
I like here.
cao!
