Whoa. Here’s something I didn’t think I’d be saying this morning: Microsoft is killin’ it this week.
In the past 48 hours, they’ve launched a massively overhauled interface for the Xbox 360, released a much improved Netflix 360 app, and debuted an app that lets you control your 360 from a Windows Phone 7 handset. And for their next move: they’ve just launched an Xbox Live application (fittingly dubbed “My Xbox Live”) for iOS.
Now, the app doesn’t seem to replicate the 360-controlling features of the WP7 app they launched this morning — that, understandably, seems to be a Windows Phone exclusive. It does, however, duplicate many of the Live-centric features that Windows Phone had at launch.
You can:
The app is universal, and thus custom tailored for both the iPhone and the iPad (and it’s really, reallydamn pretty on the iPad. Solid job, Microsoft.) You can find it in the App Store right here.
