Those of you with a bit more than a passing interest in new developments in mobile technology may have noticed that Microsoft have just announced their new version of the (previously shit) Windows Mobile.
Now what will you be able to do on your shiny new Xbox Live compatible phone? Well I’ll tell you...
According to the official press release, not all that much. Accessing Xbox Live through the Windows Phone 7 Games hub will allow you to collect achievements, building your Gamerscore on the go, check out Xbox Live leaderboards, and manage your friends list. You'll be able to play certain turn-based games, though not in real-time - one player takes a turn, and then waits for the other to receive it and respond. And you'll also be able to look at your Xbox Live avatar, which you can do with any phone with a web-browser right now anyway.
Here’s another image of WinMo7 doing some other stuff. The first handsets loaded with this new OS will be available this Christmas and I have to say that having looked at a few vid’s of this in action, the iPhone is in for a serious fight on 2 fronts, WinMo7 and the new HTC Legend & Desire.Originally Posted by Ron Pessner - General Manager of Xbox LIVE Mobile
