Microsoft's "Deepfish" Browser

[CLS_500]

Microsoft just released a new browser for testing.. too bad all the slots have been filled up.. i managed to get the cab file from somewhere.. but it requires a code for the app to work.. anyway..here is the link.. and the file.

Would be nice to look at, but your right, needs the code...

I signed up, but they were full, so maybe they'll send a code.

Looks like another teaser from MS.

If they want people to have a look/to test, why dont they just give it away??. Like they did for IE ???? Will only help fix the bugs!

Any codes?? Anyone??

This thing is cool!!!!!

[I7oobie]

This thing is cool!!!!!

I like it, but anyone else see the fuzziness around the edges sometimes? Maybe I drank too much...:D

[dkb218]

Um, all it does is display a thumbnail of a web page? can't select anything on the page? um, what's the point? Am I missing something here?

[jawnsixteen]

hey above me, have you seen the iphone browser? it does that

I LOVE IT. This was one thing that the iphone DID have over windows mobile, and now we have it.

I do wish that the select button never had to be it. It should be all from the finger or stylus

Press the middle navigation button. then move up and down left right then press the button again. I guess you cant use the touch screen which really sucks

[rbm55]

Thanks to straff for the code. This browser is very cool. There are some instructions at the following page:

Looks like the activation code has been de-activated. I used it earlier but can't log in now.

[rekall]

[Jakaroe808]

love you guys

[cuboosh]

8 minutes? how i signed up twice and a day ago...

[schwags]

Yeah there's no way. I've signed up at least 4 or 5 times in the past two days and I haven't gotten anything.

[cuboosh]

[edka]

[dragonedge]

kinda neat, has some potential but i think I'll wait to change out PIE.

[sYnOnYx]

thanks BRAH ! !!

worked perfect ! !

this browser is a really a diffrent way to surf the net.

im gonna try it for a bit then give my review.

[dortyboy]

anyone has a code for me. i will just wait for the mda upgrade from tmobile that is suppose to come out next month

[cuboosh]

thx for posting the code :)

[Malik05]

ahhh never mind this post.....

[newyorker]

why did u guys delete the code? ohh man.. :(

[samy.3660]

oh can somebody give me an activation code.
If you dont wanna post then PM me.
Thanks

[eluth]

You have to get your own. These codes can only be used once.

Registrer on the MS web site and wait.
I did register yesterday and got my code tonight.
-eluth.

[Menneisyys]

Guys, please try creating GENERIC threads in the GENERAL forum ;) This stuff would interest the entire XDA-Dev community, not just Wizard users.

[Russ741]

5202744683210565

Doesnt look like this code is working any longer. I tried it and got a message saying it was unable to validate.

So I signed up on the MS page and hopefully they will send me a new code this year.

[demontefixo]

Guys, please try creating GENERIC threads in the GENERAL forum ;) This stuff would interest the entire XDA-Dev community, not just Wizard users.Who reads the general threads? :p wizard, wizard, wizard... lol

Be well, and to topic, I registered and I am waiting...we'll see.

[Ranger666]

It's been 3 days since I registered and still no code. I don't think they will give anymore codes out......

[(f)oTto]

damn :(
i can't find any key, which works. :(

[demontefixo]

damn :(
i can't find any key, which works. :(eluth said one code per install, so it is not likely you will find a code that works (see post above).

[fliplyricist1]

can someone who doesnt like it/want to use it anymore pm me their activation code please? it would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

[SeanFromSoCal]

All we need is this Deepfish browser, direct Youtube video access, and more finger intuitive programs (like AC's Slide2Unlock, larna's iContacts, and Guybrush's SSContacts) ... and then there will never be a need to get an iPhooey.

The "My Phone can do more/better than yours" competition is a HTC/Microsoft win by knockout.

[MAK11]

Errmmm anybody got an activation code? :(

[stephano]

Yeah I do. Deepfish SUCKS!! It's really really bad. And I won't give you my activation code :)

[BA_Flash_GOD]

Yeah I do. Deepfish SUCKS!! It's really really bad. And I won't give you my activation code :)

hahaha you just made "baby jesus" cry

[Noonski]

I know you Microsoft peeps keep track of XDA forums. Can't you see bringing out more keys only helps you out.

[clia]

It's really cool.

[stephano]

I don't see why it is so cool. All it does is it downloads the image of the website in crappy JPG. Even texts are in the jpg. No actual rendering happens on the device. Even the new Opera Mini beta in Java VM is better than Deepfish.

Microsoft should make the rendering on the device side.

Now, it is a website-image viewer.

[k2snowboards88]

thats to make up for the hardware definciencies of ppc's. They cant do it on their own. Have you tried using opera mobile? It does render everything on the ppc, and its constantly locking up for a 8 seconds while it renders, scrolling is really slow, and it still doesn't render pages exactly correctly. Why not let a server download the page, take a screenshot, and send you a page that your phone can actually work with?

[Madcap180]

Deepfish won't even work for me, I click on he deepfish icon and it does nothing.

[rugedbc]

I was wondering if there were people ouit there with an active deepfish code that aren 't interested in playing with the app any longer and wouldn't mind private messaging me their code so i can play with it for a bit? I know better than to post it as microsoft would shut it down and then no one will have it. Thank you and hope all is well!

[dkb218]

Still, to this day - I DON'T GET IT?!?! What are youse people finding so "cool" about this app?

[kevinniven]

I've been waiting over a week for my code! If anyone wants to give a code please private Message me.

Thanks!!

[famewolf]

Thanks!!

Some of us have been waiting MONTHS (plural) for a code so I wouldn't expect one anytime soon.

[stephano]

If You Share Your Code, They'll Block It!

[juanschwartz]

WTF. What's with the codes MS?

[evilito]

I've been using it for months and find it a good alternative to PIE. Takes getting used to, but once you figure out everything can be done with the directional keys its a wiz to navigate and read web pages. Clicking sometimes can be a challenge but it works.

[PaulMdx]

For those of us without a key I did some digging into the exe and packet sniffed the validation IP traffic. The app goes to one or all of the following:

http://crl.microsoft.com/pki/mscorp/crl/Microsoft%20Secure%20Server%20Authority(3).crl

http://corppki/crl/Microsoft%20Secure%20Server%20Authority(3).crl

http://www.microsoft.com/pki/mscorp/Microsoft%20Secure%20Server%20Authority(3).crt

http://corppki/aia/Microsoft%20Secure%20Server%20Authority(3).crt

crl => Certificate revocation list
crt => Certificate

Interesting they have internal hostnames listed. This is probably indicating even developers had to register against a validation server.

The server also communicates over HTTPS with registration.labs.live.com. (You can get this info from the Diagnosis menu option.) An invalid activation returns HTTP 401 (unauthorised), so potentially if one was able to emulate a server returning HTTP 200 it might be enough to validate..

EDIT: Also using the key from straff on the first page they are implementing a client side CRC check. If you change one digit the input box has an error below it. One might find CRC-valid keys such as 0000000011111111 and 1122334455667788 hoping MS would have left in an obvious key for developers.

Information for educational purposes.

[KamaL]

I've been using it for a couple of months now, and i must say i love it - as a browser for checking sites who don't need authentication etc.

Does anybody now if there's an upcoming version coming soon? the current version is very limited and buggy.

[papin0]

it says it can't validate with the code post it here

[snotboy32]

goto www.ppcgeeks.com and search for deepfish i have posted the code there
