Live Labs, the division of Microsoft which was created to develop Web 2.0 applications and features has just announced it's first iPhone Application called Seadragon. The application allows users to view large images on the iPhone's 3.5 inch touch screen regardless of the amount of bandwidth on the network.
According to a statement from Live Labs, ""with just a few pinches or taps of your finger," Seadragon lets users view gigapixel-sized images using the iPhone's multi-touch screen to zoom in and out of photos or maps. The viewer could also be used to browse e-mail or other content.
The Seadragon mobile application is free through Apple's application store. Seadragon comes preloaded with bookmarks that deliver content from organizations such as the U.S. Geological Survey for photos and the U.S. Library of Congress for documents.
Microsoft did not comment on when Seadragon would be available on other mobile devices or operating systems, including its own Windows Mobile.
According to TechFlash, Microsoft is expected to release a voice-recognition application for the iPhone next year.
