Microsoft apparently isn't going to ignore the iPhone completely. They released a Seadragon application for the iPhone today that lets users "infinitely zoom" on high quality images with near zero transition times. The embed below shows Seadragon in action, and the experience on the iPhone is very similar.
We've covered Seadragon applications like TouchWall and pptPlex previously, and in March Microsoft built it into Silverlight.
You can browse a few photosets included in the application or add your own content from Photosynth or any RSS feed.
Get the application at this iTunes link. More on the excellent 148apps.
