Windows Phone 7 Series Demo Shows Live Tiles & Cross Platform Gaming

Microsoft’s quest to introduce Windows Phone 7 series to the world continue with the demo at Microsoft Tech Ed Middle East. The 2 demos are how Live Tile works and as cross platform game playing in phone and Xbox live.

I prefer this to be Live Tiles demo instead of multitasking demo as some suggest – The panelist explain the concept of Live Tiles, and demo creating Live Tiles from one of IE’s web pages, and pin into the start menu. The website which now appears as Live Tile will get updated real time, as the web site updated. Live Tiles can be many and each will get updated real time.  Erm, sound like multi tasking anyone?

Cross Gaming Platform – This is one of the sought after feature in Windows 7 Phone Series that yet to be demoed so far. So in this video, a game was played in a smartphone (with accelerator and touch demoed as well) and stopped. When the same game played on Xbox, it resumed back from the spot it stopped before in the smartphone.  Looks promising right?
