Live from Nokia World 2011: Xbox companion app demo

[cromag4golf]

i cant Bing anything on my N64. yet

[swlak516]

WTF. WHY IS THE APPLICATION BAR LIKE THAT. Windows phone is suppossed to be consistent, but then we get applications like this, made by another division at microsoft, that destroy the consistency the Windows Phone team worked so hard to create

[MrPenguin711]

He likes Xmen: First Class, I like windows phone 7.5

[legokingdomhearts]

i havent gotten mango update yet....when do i get it?

[Lawryda]

but i don't use xbox 360...

[kamikazepiloten]

So use two machines for what I actually only need the xbox for?! That's... brilliant!

[MuntaserMajthoub]

I dont get it, why dont they just use the controller? What a pointless feature.

[ZUNECARDSTV]

@MuntaserMajthoub How fast can you type using the controller. WP7 is the perfect companion for searching for content. not everyone who has an xbox will get a kinect.

When I'm on line playing street fighter with my friends I can instantly send replies or messages by using my phone with the current Xbox app on wp7.

[Hardcorehippie12]

can you stream content from your phone to the xbox with this?

[david90531]

Windows Phone 7 with Mango is just too good to describe

[Loumieri]

i liked the dashboard interface, it's like the Windows Phone 7 :D

[rogan2134]

that sounds more gimmiky than anything, hopefully it paves way to something better, but so far looks like nothing interisting or a reason to get a xbox or a w7p

[MrSeedyROM]

@rogan2134 Not as gimmicky as Nokia's 'bendable' screen... At least this is kind of practical if you already own both.

[rogan2134]

@MrSeedyROM the whole remote feature is useless considering you can just use a 360 controller, the looking up of movies is cool it's kinda like imbd, but you can do that with other devices.

[tharapon]

Wow, lovin' it!

[yehiahassan89]

Greattt

[lucafe006]

ok here's a test " am at work and my friend wants to watch a movie that i suggested a while back and they can't seem to find that specific movie so i pull out my windows phone and told her to put her phone or cell phone whatever phone she may be using at that time, to the Xbox and bam the movie streams directly from my phone through her cell to the xbox ((Can This Be Done))

[PSRBF6]

@lucafe006 cut out the middleman (your friends phone). The movie goes from your phone to the Xbox. You don't need her phone.

[lucafe006]

@PSRBF6 ok so you don't have to be near the xbox for it to be done, right ?

[zxcvb7653]

why dont they just use the controler?

[rdknght17]

@zxcvb7653 its died lol

[kevendubin]

Where does one get said app...?

[7777montey]

When are they releasing this app?

[Hardrock1a]

@7777montey Its coming, probably around the end of November (US Thanksgiving), around the same time as they are going to be announcing details on the Xbox TV service that has been announced as coming around the same time. More stuff to get in the app I am sure.

[IkkeDerBen]

will it work on the old 360 without an wifi connector?

[OrangeTang666]

@IkkeDerBen It should as long as you are on the same local network, AKA if your wifi router is connected to the same network as your xbox and has your phone on the wifi.

[Littlezeekers]

I want!
