Microsoft has just released their "My Xbox Live" app for Android phone users. Basically it'll allow those users to "read and send messages to friends; manage your friends list and invite new friends; read and edit your full LIVE profile (name, bio, motto); change your avatar features and items with the avatar closet; and view and compare your achievement progress with friends."
Now, even as connected as I like to be to my social networks I really can't think of something I would absolutely need to do on Xbox Live that I couldn't just wait to do until I got home and booted up my console. I had installed the Xbox Live app for iPhone when it was first introduced but I simply found no use for it.
If you do, and use the iPhone, Microsoft also released a hearty update to that app as well, adding a host of new functions including the ability to "find, learn more about, and control your favorite content from popular entertainment services on Xbox 360...you can [also] control the content on your console with play, pause, fast forward and rewind controls directly from your iPhone." According to Microsoft " The new Discover section will let you find fresh entertainment through your phone to play on your console. You can also access on your phone a quick list of your most recent console activity."
So what Microsoft has done is essentially add remote control functionality to your phone. Even though your controller is probably right next to you...and your phone isnt.
Good one Microsoft.

Perhaps it's part of their initiative towards SmartGlass?
After all, MS is all about integration these days.

if only they could make it so the xbox can recognize your android as a keyboard. that way i could type stuff on the android keypad as oppose to the xbox one

So they added the ability to do everything a Windows Phone could do for the past 2 years.
Good, since I might be switching to Android.
And don't knock it Joseph, it is so much easier to do things on a phones keyboard than it is with the on screen keyboard and an analog stick.

Hmm I normally just use a wireless keyboard for but I guess using my iPhone would be an easier alternative.

What's the point in having Steam mobile app? I'm just using it to check on sales or who's online and people can find me on Steam to chat even when I'm not in front of my PC. Xbox app is similar in that regard. If MS wants to take it to the next level they can start selling XBL mobile games. Bottom line is, more is not less.
