Fragile is for flowers. Poets. Figurines.

In an article posted on theregister.com, author John Leyden discusses Microsoft's unveiling of a prototype Web browser that can view full Web pages on a small screen. The article said in part:

The Deepfish browser displays thumbnails on a web page as a point of reference. Users can then highlight a section of a page and zoom in or out as required to view the page in detail, as explained in a demo video here."

Review: The 81-Day Experiment

In an article in the Apr/May 2007 issue of Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine, author discusses how he tried nine of the top Smartphones over a period of 81 days. He said in part:

"I called it "The 81-Day Experiment," but some of my friends called it "temporary insanity."

Over a period of 81 days last year, I tried out nine of the top smartphones on the market, including the latest Palm Treos, BlackBerries, Symbians, and of course, Windows Mobile devices. Each device got a nine-day trial, and then I moved on to the next one. My goal was to find the perfect smartphone, but perfection is relative and goes beyond a simple evaluation of what the user needs-it must include style and personality as well.
(Note: This magazine uses the word "Smartphone" with the initial "S" capitalized to refer to specific Windows Mobile devices. The word appears in this article un-capitalized to indicate that it refers to devices with PDA and phone capabilities that may or may not use Windows Mobile.)"
