Wild! I need a closer look. I cant help but wonder how it calls and rearranges the data in to that HALO helper....pretty cool stuff....wondering if they need something like API to do it ....or not (more than likely they do) crazy...

Wow how amazingly pointless.

[Kaito]

Yeah and more work sort of......

I want it. It will tie into the augmented reality glasses for the 720.

I'm hoping they'll allow it to be used like an advanced remote control. Allow it to display a mini-guide identical to the one on the Xbox and utilise all the features of it on your phone / tablet. It would make a great many things more convenient.

[Zion]

I think the app could suck to begin with an when the new console drops many more features will be added later.

I am impressed by depth, not gimmickry. I hate that they are forcing IE and Bing on me, I think both are shit.

[Wh1skers]

I don't see how they are 'forcing' either on you. Having an internet browser and search engine on the Xbox, even if they're not the best ones around, is better than having nothing at all. Besides, we know next to nothing about IE on Xbox - it could be the first truly decent iteration of the program for all we know.

I dont like Internet Exploroer either but they would never allow chrome or any other browser on their consoles.
