Check the Play Store for the new Smart Glass app. Lets you control your XBox from your Android device. It's pretty sweet.

Awesome, but my Xbox became useless when my TV started playing Netflix.

I saw yesterday the SmartGlass in a friend's house. I'll try with me soon. ^^
Awesome app, I have Xbox smart glass installed on windows 8 pro on my PC also, if you have an Xbox 360 this app is a must have for both your android device and windows 8 PC.
Is this available for iPhone?

I don't think apple would approve of a Microsoft xbox app somehow lol, but maybe I'm wrong, it would be weird for apple to do that knowing their anti everything thats created by their arch enemy.

IOS already has official My Xbox Live app. Don't see why this wouldn't get approved.
Actually, iPhone had this feature before us with the my Xbox app. My friend from work was bragging about it.

My Xbox Live Application?
can someone share it? I can´t install it on my nexus 7
iOS version that was released yesterday has better fucntionality than the android version. Forza and Halo dont work as they do on iOS and Windows. This Is Bullsh!t. The giving android the crappy version of everything has to end. We have the most market share, the most users but we alway get shafted. Yeah we got the app first, cool, But once the iphone/ipad got it with full smartglass functionality(not to mention an ipad specific version[yes i know sideloading works on android tablets, it runs great on my N7}) it took me over the top. I just dont see why this has to keep happening.
Has anyone had trouble getting this to work? Mine goes to Getting info from Xbox services... and eventually just fails and says "Can't sign into xbox services". I've reset everything, tried over 4g and on the same local network and made sure the account is fine and Smartglass is turned on on my box. Still no go - any ideas? No many results turn up on Google. Some complain of similar problems but there's no solution.
EDIT 12/15: The next day it started working without me doing anything different. Go figure
not available in some SEA Countries. dang I have to use a workaround to install this thing

I have a gnex and I like it, a lot. These windows phones coming out look pretty cool and their just now catching up with some hardware specs us android users are used to. What do you guys think of these windows phones? Im curious to know the app development for the OS. Thats the only thing keeping me away. Your thoughts?
So you like locked down garbage that will never actually be updated?
Good for you.

Have a look at windowsphone.interopabilitybridges.com
Many articles point out as more users move to the Windows Phone platform, app devs will move over as well.

Definitely shows promise, but I'm locked into Android for the time being.
Just pulled out my HD2, which has WP7.5 on it (giving to my bro for a loaner), and it is a slick interface. Zune may have flopped, but it is just nice to use.
But, I'm Google-locked for now.

Not even remotely interesting. User interface is atrocious.
Beautiful phones softwate and hardware wise. Run extremely smooth especially the lumia 920. I like android for the freedom but if i had to choose a business phone it would be a windows phone 8 device. Apps are still far behind as their new. If you dont play games tho then they have apps for everything productivity wise.

Lumia 920 looks pretty nice. I have an upcoming hardware upgrade and since I'm buying the Nexus 4 outright, I'll upgrade to the Lumia to give it a try. I hope that Microsoft won't pull another Windows Phone 7 not upgradable to Win8 thing.

I have always thought the same way. It looks very nice as a business phone especially that Windows OS is mostly used in offices at organizations so it should pair and integrate better with Windows Phone I guess, however, they seem either more expensive or same price to high-cost Android phones, so this makes it harder to pick a WIndows Phone if I can get a similar specifications running Android which will also fit well as a business phone
Maybe Windows will go back to the top once again? :sarcasm:

Windows no doubt will continue to rule in in the workspace with windows 8 on tablets. So most people will need one. When it come s to the mobile phone market apple and Google should dominate for awhile.

I don't know how you didn't understand my post I clearly said windows 8 pro on my Pc, but I agree win 8 on a smartphone or tablet would be complete garbage compared to android, its a no brainer win8 mobile clearly sucks but so did android before ICS an jellybean came along, I absolutely despised gingerbread an anything before it compared with iOS back then.
Fyi All windows 8 operating systems can be considered mobile now. Just depends on what hardware its on. Tablets with keyboard attachments are going to be huge in 2013.

No they aren't. Just because companies will make them doesn't mean they will be huge. Adding a keyboard attachment defeats the entire point of a tablet and I think the market will respond accordingly.
I think Windows 8 phones might start to catch on in enterprises but for the mainstream users they will probably stick with Apple or Android. How well the phones integrate to the Office suite of products will drive the success or failure of the Windows 8 OS in my opinion.

Hello guys,
Any good Rally Racing game you can recommend tho me?
Also, asphalt 7 is awesome in my iPad so I want in my nexus too, would I be able to get my progress in my nexus using my same Facebook profile?. Google play have it for .99c and gameloft site have it for $2.99 is there any difference?
What other good games console like are out there?

Rally Racing? Likes a game similar to Dirt? Race of Champions is the closest thing I could find.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m94CTguzqqA
Reckless Racing 2 might interest you. Need for Speed Most Wanted is another good racer.
I would not recommend getting Asphalt 7... The game is not optimized and does not have nearly the same graphics as the iPad version. If you do some file modding, you can enable the effects, but the game is so laggy it's basically unplayable.
Probably best to post here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771129
I will checkout reckless,, ROC looks cool on the video also, wish we can have DIRT on our nexus
I notice that asphalt 7 on Gameloft mobile site says asphalt 7 HD. And cost triple the price than play market,, could it be a optimized tablet version?

I own the gameloft "version" as I dont have a credit card, but there is no difference to the Play Store edition (except being uncapable of updating it through play store)
Btw I'd recommend Beach Buggy Blitz ,if you like this special kind of "rally"
Beach buggy is very cool and the best off all so pretty dam good graphic for a free game,,
Good point about updating outside play store,, asphalt 7 keeps updating new cool stuff every month or so in my iPad, so no asphalt 7 on my nexus

The sound quality still blows my mind.
I was thinking about making a bootsound with the ticks and buzzing of the floppy drive aswell, but figgured then i could never turn my nexus on at night Maybe mute it down a bit, it could be usable. We'll see in the future

I'm not sure how well it would go down linking to download sites as I'm not entirely sure if it would count as piracy (against xda rules). This is a good place to talk about our favourite games and recommend them to each other.
Favourite games for me, paradroid 90, hunter, hero's quest, the settlers.
Did anyone try dune or dune 2 on n7? I'm curious to see how well it would work without a mouse for multi selection of units

Robocod used to be my favourite game.
A very fun and cute gameplay. I have to get a go at it again soon
Personally i dont remember many titles, I'll have to go through some floppy boxes and search online to put names on them.
Allso Lemmings. I heard It's made by some of the people who made the GrandTheftAuto series, who are known for great and revolutionary games. Not 100% sure about this though

You're quite right. Lemmings was developed by DMA Design, the same people that did the GTA series.
My favorites (among quite a few others) were Hunter, Ivan Reitman's Super Off-Road, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Speedball I & II, Stunt Car Racer, Another World, Super Cars II, Pinball Dreams, Slam Tilt, Cannon Fodder, Kick Off II and of course... Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS).
