Microsoft releases its first iPhone app

Engineers in the company's Live LabsLive Labs have released the company's first application for Apple's popular smartphone--even before making it available on Microsoft's own mobile platform, reports cnet news.

Seadragon Mobile, which was added to Apple's App Store on Saturday, is a free image-browsing app that allows users to quickly "deep zoom" images while online and is intended to demonstrate what is possible with a mobile platform.

Seadragon is the backbone for Microsoft's Photosynth, which allows users to take a grouping of photographs and stitch them together into a faux 3D environment.
