Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

The official My Xbox Live app has just been updated to now also act as an Xbox Companion (I think the WP7 version has had this for a while?).

You can now use it to control the Dashboard, plus it has its own Quickplay menu to launch recent apps, and you can use it to control media.

I've just had a play, using it to browse the dashboard at first, then I used its own Quickplay menu to launch 4oD, and then used the app to control the video.

Very nice :)


EDIT:

The My Xbox Live app has also finally been released for Android. At the moment it is more like the initial iOS release, but hopefully will eventually get Companion features added.

The first version of the Android XBL app launched this week - it's not yet got Companion control, and is more like the initial iOS version (Friends, Achievements, Avatar, etc.).

Thanks for the heads up Matt, I've just downloaded it and I'm a little disapointed. For it's inital release they could have at least added your friends to it - unless I'm looking in the wrong place on the app.

From the screenshots on the link, it looks like "Friends" is under the "Social" section.

You can now control your XBOX with the iPad app not just the iPhone app.

Re: Official "My Xbox Live" iOS app now has Xbox Companion control, Android app launc
 

Yep, it was updated yesterday to add Xbox control to the iPad :)

The Android version was released at the end of October:

Also available, obviously, for Windows Phone and Windows 8.

Its a bit pants on all platforms, I don't really see the appeal of having a map on another screen when you can just press pause.

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

On the iOS version you can view friends list, send messages and edit your avatar. You can't do that on the Windows 8 version. I think there's other things you can't do on the Windows 8 version either. So you don't get the same experience off each app. So far I'd recommend using the iOS version.

Great not compatiable with my two devces :(

Even though people seem to have installed, and left comments (HTC Desire S)

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

One of the perils of Android is that you get left behind quite quickly unless you have a Nexus device :( Are you still on Gingerbread or something?

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

It's likely people rooted their devices to 4.0

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

Yep :(

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

You should unlock your bootloader and then install your own rom.

You can now officially do the bootloader unlock from here then it is just a case of learning how to root the device with another ROM.

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

I've got a GED Xoom running vanilla JB from Google and SmartGlass isn't compatible with it. My Xbox Live wasn't compatible with it either and Microsoft never updated it to work, so I doubt they'll hurry to update SmartGlass.

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

this works perfectly on my Nokia Lumia 820 with Windows Phone :D

Re: Xbox SmartGlass (was "Official "My Xbox Live" app...")
 

Smartglass now works on my Tablet.

I guess it will work on the HTC One.
