Well, who would have thought that Microsoft would get into iPhone development?
On 13th December 2008, Microsoft Live Labs announced the launch of a preview release of its Seadragon Mobile application for the iPhone.
Seadragon Mobile provides smooth image viewing and scaling, just like we're used to seeing on the iPhone with Google Maps.
It makes sense that the iPhone's the first mobile platform to get such an app. It's powerful UI is a natural for it. Blackberries and Nokias just don't have the graphics capability. What's interesting, though, is that there's no sign of a version for Windows Mobile yet.
I've been having a play with it and, while it's not going to set the world alight, it's nice to see that Microsoft are mature enough to recognise that the iPhone is a viable platform for their technology.
You can download Seadragon Mobile for free from the Apple iTunes App Store.

A Note for Comment Spammers
Now, I realise that those of you who use blog comments such as these to
spread your worthless spam are not the cleverest people on the face of the planet.
So, I thought I'd make it clear that you're wasting your time posting your pointless
garbage here. Quite simply, it will never be published. Thankfully, unlike yourselves,
I'm blessed with an inherent ability to identify irrelevant content and it's every bit
as easy for me to toss your contribution into the virtual waste bin as it is to publish it.
So, guess what? Unless your comments are relevant (and I mean, really relevant, not
some thinly veiled attempt to get me to link to your site) they're never going to appear
on here. So, they're never go to appear in a search engine, never going to boost your
customer's Google page rank and never going to achieve anything in terms of Search
Engine Optimisation. Please, practice being a parasite elsewhere. Oh, and I'm confident
that my genuine readers are perfectly well endowed and enjoy a full and healthy lifestyle
without help from you. Thanks for reading.
