Free value added features and content upgrades/updates are always welcome.

So, the inferior gaming/multimedia device just got allegedly easier to control... I think that BT-based overclocking app is way cooler

A move to kill Wii-U?

I'm sure someone will port or do this on android to. Great feature but still not enough to convince me WP7 is better.

Would be nice if they could do it so it works with WMC PCs and extenders as well

It's not that WP7 is better.The question is; Is WP7 for you? For example. I'm not a power user on a phone and don't need mad customization options. I enjoy Zune and XBOX services. I also tie in my work and personal emails, calendar, and contacts. I can easily filter all three into groups such as work and friends. Apps. are coming everyday while big names are showing up all the time.

As you can see I have full use for my WP7 phone therefore it is the phone for me. Now if they could only get Spore for EA on there I would be set.

WP7 does not even have Pandora let alone much developer backing.

How will someone "Port" this to Andriod or Iphone? Both WP7 and Xbox is owned by that 4 letter word you so hate (MSFT).

Wouldn't hold your breath, meanwhile I'll have the ATLAS app for Halo.. Frag ya soon!
