[ Prototype Screenshots ] Windows Mobile + xBox = Live Anywhere ??

We have talked about xBox and Windows Mobile the idea was announced as early as 2006 ( at E3 if I am not wrong ). The idea was to extend the Xbox Live concept to Windows Mobile and even Java-enabled phones.

They showed some early screenshots / demo of the project back in 2006 ( It was then called Live Anywhere ). The idea was Whether you’re at your PC or on the move with a mobile, you would be able to track your gamer tag, message friends, purchase content for that device or set it to download to another device, and compare rankings with your buddies on various gaming titles. This was exciting in 2006 but now since Microsoft dropped the ball on that there are some 3rd party Apps on Windows Mobile that tries to bring these features ( mind you they are not as feature rich as what Live Anywhere could have been ) . They are Mobile GamerTag and WM Live 0.8 beta

But with the buzz around the new Job posting looking to Integrate xBox and WM I hope it is some thing which allows uses to challenge other WM users for online battle in some new line of WM7 games that integrates multiplayer gameplay with friends ( kind of like what Eliminate Pro does for the iPhone with push notifications , imagine something like HALO on the WM7 devices .. that would be so cool )
