Rumor Analysis: Xbox Live going mobile seems like a great idea

It was reported that Microsoft has already hinted that it might try to link Xbox Live experience to the Windows Mobile platform. It seems like a pretty wise choice to do so since smartphones have their own game apps that help flesh out their capabilities and makes them even more enticing to the gaming public. If Microsoft does link up Xbox Live to Windows Mobile, that would probably increase the popularity of Windows Mobile phones. That is if the idea is pursued and actually works.

Microsoft had a job posting for a software engineer who would work on making this happen. So the company is at least looking into it. It seems like a good idea, especially with the growing popularity of different smartphones being used as gaming outlets. There are a lot of ways that this can go, though.
