Microsoft releases iPhone app prior to Windows Mobile

Say it aint so! CNET is reporting that Microsoft has released an application called Seadragon Mobile for the iPhone; before they even release it for their own mobile operating system for their favorite smartphones. Weird huh? I’d give an iTunes link, but why would you want to install something Microsoft on a platform that is refreshingly Microsoft free? No thanks.

So why did they release this for iPhone before a Windows Mobile device? Glad you asked. Moneyquote from Microsoft: “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.”

‘nuff said.
