At the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference (eTech), Microsoft unveiled a new mobile technology, called Deepfish, to offer mobile users quick and convenient Web browsing that closely resembles the experience of browsing the Web on desktop computers.

According to Dr. Gary William Flake, founder and director, Microsoft Live Labs, "Mobile browsing today is often less intuitive, the pages don't look like what you have come to expect on the desktop, and it takes a long time for a page to load. Deepfish aims to solve that problem. This technology can capture full layout of the page and deliver it to the mobile device similar to that on the desktop."

The interface lets users zoom in and out on the parts of a Web page, making it easy to use the large-screen formatted pages on a mobile device. On current mobile browsers, it can typically take up to a minute or more for a Web page to render, however the Deepfish architecture only loads the user-specified portion of the page, providing much quicker page-load times.
