Microsoft have released their 'My Xbox Live' application, previously only available on Windows Phone and iOS, for Android.

The application, which is a little light on features compared to other platforms, includes the ability to...
  • View, manage, and message friends
  • View and compare your achievement progress with friends
  • Read and Edit your full LIVE profile (name, bio, motto)
  • See your 3-D Avatar and customize it while on-the-go
  • Access your recent activity and manage your Beacons
  • Stay connected to the Xbox LIVE community via Spotlight

The free application requires an Xbox LIVE account to sign in and is available for most Android 2.2+ smartphones, with WGVA screen resolution or higher.

In use, it's very slick and has a decent amount of features for a first version. It feels a little strange though... the UI is extremely 'Windows Phone'y, but that aside the presentation (especially in the avatar customisation section) is top notch.

A sound first start Microsoft... :)

Grab it now from the Google Play Store.

You would have expected a new app to be in line with iOS though wouldn't you? This doesn't have any of the features that today's iOS update brings; XBOX Companion for example :(

shame you cant schedule xbox demos and purchases from it, so that when your xbox is turned on, it immediately downloads them
