Games for windows mobile LIVE
 
Am I the only on wondering if microsoft wiill ever bring windows live gaming to thes new devices? Personally, with ms to soon exxpand on wiindows LIVE gaming, bringing a lot of the xbox live marketplace to it, why not bring arcade to mobile devices nnow that they're getting powerful enough? And for these devices to directly interact with the 360, would be awesome-sharing internet connection, media etc.

What do you all think?

I am a huge fan of xbox live and I think that would be great. As far as media though, you can already do so much with a 360 and a pc on the same network, and as far as internet sharing you can always use wmwifirouter. I still guess it would be pretty cool to have some sort of xboxlive app that has the same functionality as the console itself. Now the arcade to mobile gaming over xboxlive would be sweet but I can already see some sort of controller issue. These phones just aren't made for some of these fast gameplay type games.

I think there's potential, microsoft could make a new controller that is a bit stripped down for the sake of size, but have an adjustable mount for the phones, mini usb attachment, etc...These phones are evidently powerful enough for n64 level games, they just need the input methods.

Yes I would love to see xbox live with gaming for windows live that would be sweet. I'm sure MS can work out some playable type of games with the touch pro and xbox live. Or at least able 2 go to xbox live via the touch pro

Its too bad latency for the EVDO network tends to be like 100-200ms. brings me back to the 56k days hahah, but with boatloads more bandwidth

Actually from my experience latency isn't really that bad, I have played a few rounds of Halo3 and CoD4 using wmwifirouter on my mogul and it played surprisingly good. I was just bored and wanted to see how well it was going to work and it did.

Yeah, I could swear I read somewhere that Sprint and Verizon's mobile broadband networks are fast enough for gaming-YABADABADOO!!

I really hope microsoft starts making interaction between windows mobile and xbox 360 a reality, especially when the Tegra 600 series by nVidia is released, those phones are significantly more powerful than the almighty iphone. There are some videos on youtube of them playing quake 3!!
