14 Dec 08 Microsoft Has Its First iPhone Application Ready
The unimaginable has happened yet again. Surprisingly enough Microsoft has added an iPhone application in the App Store. That’s the first Microsoft app to be added in the App Store.
SeaDragon Mobile is a photo displaying application which is the mobile version of Microsoft Live Labs’ photo display platform. It will let you zoom in on photos with big enough resolution. It does that by storing different resolution and showing only the part you want to look at.
Alex Daley, group manager for Microsoft Live Labs said:
The iPhone is the most widely distributed phone with a (graphics processing unit). Most phones out today don’t have accelerated graphics in them. The iPhone does and so it enabled us to do something that has been previously difficult to do. I couldn’t just pick up a BlackBerry or a Nokia off the shelf and build Seadragon for it without GPU support.
Wait a second, is Microsoft saying the iPhone is a good device? I thought the official position was a totally different one.
