Microsoft to integrate Windows Mobile, Xbox Live
Mobile Tech World spotted the job listing alongside another for a Software Test Engineer position that appears to be related. The description mentions mobile gaming and always connected devices, as well as the "opportunity to make a critical impact the next release of Windows Mobile." Sadly, that last part in particular suggest that users may have to wait until the release of Windows Mobile 7 in late 2010 before seeing any of this.
Microsoft's strongest commitment to mobile gaming so far has been the launch of Zune HD games. It remains to be seen what will this mean for the Tegra-equipped portable media player if Windows Mobile is to become the Xbox LIVE portable gaming platform.

> focusing on aspects such as “avatar integration, social interactions, and multi-screen experiences.” I wish they'd focus on good games.  Anyway, I figure my WM 6.0 phone won't be supported. |

No kidding ET3D... I got something in the mail from Xbox Live telling me about what I missed out on this year, and when it showed me avatars, facebook, and yet another guitar hero, I laughed and remembered why I won't be renewing Xbox Live. The gaming is gone. |

meh...if only M$ could 'integrate' real world cash in their pay options (Xbox Live, Zune Marketplace, Games for Windows Live). |

They should focus on fixing Games for Windows Live before they start moving on and expanding Live platform...GFWL feels like its in beta so many features missing/incomplete not to mention the fact that they sell GFWL in countries that can't even use it. It still has potential to be awesome.../shrug time will tell. |

If only I had the slightest bit of interest in Windows Mobile based phones. I'd much rather see it on the ZuneHD. Posted about it some over on [link] thanks techspot. |
