<p><a href="http://alcidesfonseca.com/blog/64">2 months ago I introduced Microsoft DeepFish</a>, the new browser for Windows Mobile devices, still in beta. Thanks to <a href="http://fabiopedrosa.info">F&#225;bio</a> I was able to try that version in my <a href="http://alcidesfonseca.com/blog/43">TyTN</a>.</p>

<p>Once you navigate to a website, the first thing you&#8217;ll see, is a overall image of the website. Like a resized screenshot of the desktop browser. Then you have to zoom to the part that interests you. To read some text, you&#8217;ll have to scroll both horizontal and vertically, what just sucks! And regarding the menus, it requires various clicks for something basic. One thing I really enjoyed was the scrolling drag of the page.</p>

<p>Pocket IE is the traditional browser that renders the content for the <span class="caps">PDA</span> resolution. Almost all the websites fit the window and you only need scrolling vertically, which is very good while reading text (and the <span class="caps">TYTN</span> scroolwheel is just marvelous!). The left button has also the most probable action you&#8217;ll take (favorites or back, depending on the situation) and that makes the navigation truly easy and fluid.</p>

<p>When on my <span class="caps">PDA</span> I visit almost only blogs, twitter, gmail, google reader (ok, and flickr once in a while), so I&#8217;ll keep using PocketIE that gives me exactly the kind of presentation I want for the content I visit. I guess Microsoft is on the wrong path here.</p>
