Well gang, it's been a long time coming, but it seems we're finally going to get the Live Anywhere integration Microsoft began teasing four whole years ago. We're finding it awfully difficult to be jaded, however, as the mobile counterpart to Xbox Live will make its debut on the recently announced Windows Phone 7 -- a sleek little device which we're periodically switching between browser tabs to ogle. Click past the jump to see a demo of the phone's capabilities.

According to a Microsoft press release, the Xbox Live integration on Windows' new mobile platform "delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on a phone, including Xbox LIVE games, Spotlight feed and the ability to see a gamer's avatar, Achievements and gamer profile." We've contacted Microsoft to find out exactly what types of games are going to be offered on the device. We hope its the same lot that's available on the Zune HD -- the more electronic devices on which we can play Audiosurf, the better.


Soooo Achievement points for having a phone? TEMPTING, but I don't think so..

Windows Mobile is garbage no matter what.

I don't know. It looks like MS finally learned their lesson and isn't going to neglect their mobile platform anymore. Of course, it won't be the best, but they have to start somewhere.

When it's up against the Android OS and iPhail OS, it just won't get to where it needs to be.

We'll see, especially considering how it will integrate with Windows 7, it might actually do well. As much as I want Android to succeed (my next phone is going to be the Droid) Google is taking too long ironing out the features and bugs. There is a good chance for MS here. Not to mention Palm is doing pretty good themselves as well with their new line of phones.
