Hopefully it acts like a game distribution system as much as a premium gaming service, so that you dont need to pay $$$ just to play.

This will also probably require more expensive win mo phones costing at least a few hundred dollars after subsidy. In total I would bet a phone with this capability costs 500-600 extra dollars over 2 years outside of normal smart phone charges. I can't think of anything MS makes that doesn't cost a few hundred dollars extra to get full functionality though over a few years, this could always be the first product ever to do that.]]>Jan 11th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/
It could be happening, but around here we would never know. I tipped Engadget about firmware updates to Zune HD (http://ces.cnet.com/8301-31045_1-10429068-269.html) but they will not post anything about that. MS could have announced Zune HD will have XBOX LIVE, but Engadget will not "report" it.]]>Jan 11th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Jan 11th 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/

I of course do not have a perfectly representative sample of friends and colleagues but from what I've seen phone purchases seem to run about 70% iphone, 10% blackberry, 10% misc linux smartphone (android included here along with hold out symbians and others) and then about 10% who just get a dumb phone because they're broke and/or unemployed.

Out of hundreds of phones bought in the last 3 years among people I know I don't know a single Windows Mobile user. The way the numbers on winmo keep dropping makes me think that I'm not the only one like this (it seems as if phones past contract are dropping off and no new win mo phones are being added).

I do know one person with a Zune, but they won it from a sales contest while working at Best Buy so I'm not sure that counts. I don't know anyone who actually paid money for one (vs again, hundreds of ipods). Is this a LA thing? Maybe in middle America people love these bland MS products, who knows.]]>Jan 11th 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/xbox-live-games-to-plug-windows-mobile-into-xbox-ecosystem-at/Taking your anology of your friends and % numbers one would guess that blackberry would be dying and everyone and their mom would have one. The Reality is last quarter blackbery sold over 8mil and Iphones sold 7 mil. With NOKIAS selling over 21mil. You do know that nokias have over 45% of the worlds smartphone market, not IPHONE. But then again your world is only in your 20 or so friends.
