Deepfish: different browsing experience for Windows Mobile
Though my smartphone provides Internet connectivity to me, the browsing experience has not been very pleasent. Most of the times when it transforms actual layout of any page to displayable format, it becomes very difficult to browse.
Microsoft labs has launched a project called Deepfish to enhance browsing experience on devices running Windows Mobile 5+. It creates a full screen size thumbnail of actual layout of the page and displays a zoom box that you can move and zoom a particular part of page, which then displays that part of page zoomed to the screen size.
Sounds really interesting concept but lets see if it really improves the browsing experience. Sadly its in limited beta and has already exhausted the limit. Lets see if they increase it.
Windows Vista: more than just a pretty face ….
A nice article describing new features in Windows Vista. I agree with the author’s claim that Vista is more than just a pretty face but I still think its very expensive for home users considering that OSs these days have become commodity software. Corporations might be able to afford Vista and features like the ones described in this article might persuade some software developers to upgrade from older versions of windows but for a regular home user alot of these features are not that important to justify the price. Anyway this article gives a good insight into the new features of Vista
