iPhone Tops Windows Mobile Share; MS Releases iPhone App

Posted by kdawson on from the late-to-the-party-but-getting-ahead dept.

walterbyrd notes that new data from Gartner indicates that the successful launch of the iPhone 3G was enough to push iPhone market share over that of Windows Mobile devices — the entire range of them. And reader Spy Hunter writes: "Seadragon Mobile is Microsoft's first iPhone application. Seadragon is a technology for streaming zoomable user interfaces, and this iPhone incarnation allows viewing huge collections of gigapixel-sized images over WiFi or 3G. If you don't have an iPhone, you can also try Seadragon in your browser via Seadragon Ajax."

    ...apparently enough to at least boot it and use it without sound, touch, wireless or any other major iPhone pluses.

    That sounds like Fedora 10 on my laptop right now...

    Oh, don't get all technical on us now, trying to use the proper meaning of words to deflate our high is the worst form of haberdashery!
