HTC provided a great opportunity for WinMo to make a striking comeback with HD2, now they have just wasted it.]]>Dec 30th 2009 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/
Its almost 2010, MS is just NOW trying to hire people to do this?

I've been waiting for this since the first Zune. I can't believe they don't already have hundreds of Xbox Live Arcade title running on the Zune HD already. It's not encouraging at all for the Zune platform. Such wasted potential. It has always been great for music, but man Microsoft has blown it with games on the entire line of Zune's. ]]>Dec 30th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/
My thoughts exactly. Trying to hack this into 6.x would be a mistake. But integrating this into 7 would be awesome.

It wouldn't be that difficult even. Just link your phone to your gamertag, and the games you download from their marketplace have achievements. Give the phone the ability to do account management and communicate with your friends who are on traditional XBL. That would be a service most people couldn't complain about (if done properly) and would be a cool feature exclusive to WinMo devices that may move a few units. ]]>Dec 30th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/
I agree. I hope they include Zune HD on this one. Otherwise it will be a huge letdown for us Zune fans.]]>Dec 30th 2009 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/
I'm at least hoping that we will get some new apps for the Zune in the meantime... There's only so much bowling, racing, space invading, and blob squishing I can do before I get bored and start regretting this purchase.

It would also be nice if we could play the games on the TV using the Zune as a controller. As nice as PGR looks on the Zune, it would be pretty sweet to play it on my TV...]]>Dec 30th 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Drool]]>Dec 30th 2009 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/@joshl
Zune services will be part of WM7. The other interesting bit at the source of this news is the LG-Microsoft team working on futur WM7 devices:

I have 3 Windows Mobile devices and never had a problem transfering any video file of any formate or codec below 1000x1000 resolution with no converting files when transfering, or slow downs when paying them

Perhaps things have changed but my experiences are based on the way things were when I was running Windows XP Media Center Edition and Vista and looking to transfer files I recorded on those computers to Windows Mobile 6.0 and also the original Zune. I still wonder how smooth things really are or solutions like Orb wouldn't be so popular. Does Microsoft actually expect us to check back every couple of months to see if they finally got it right?]]>Dec 30th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/]]>Dec 30th 2009 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/Dec 30th 2009 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/

Logging onto an Xbox Live account, painting up & tuning up or just buy & sell Forza 2 cars etc via your mobile when your on the bus.

ofc it was something we never saw light of again after that conference, but eh looks like Microsoft are finally combining Xbox Live & WinMo, some how i dont think we'll be tuning cars while on the bus but atleast we'll be able to see our xbox friends list (maybe)]]>Dec 30th 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/windows-mobile-and-xbox-live-coming-together-according-to-micro/But seeing that they are tying the XBOX Live in to the platform kinda confirms that they want to compete with the iphone, psp and DS, on WinMo, which is nice...
