Xbox Live Friends list on your iPhone

There are quite a few ways online to see what your friends are up to in Xbox Live -- the most fun way is probably the 360 Voice site (that lets your Xbox blog about what you've been playing lately), but there are also Facebook applications, Dashboard widgets, and all kinds of other ways to keep tabs on gamertags. And now, 1337pwn.com has released a browser widget for MobileSafari on the iPhone and iPod touch, so you can track any gamertags you like on the go.

It doesn't actually nab tags from your friends list, so you have to type them all in separately (of course, that also means you can ninja-monitor folks), but once you get it set up, you get a URL that you can bookmark (or Webclip -- there is a default Webclip icon as well) with each person's GT, Gamerscore, last game played, and their icon and motto. So there aren't too many stats there to deal with, but if you want to quickly see what your friends are up to on your favorite portable device, it works pretty well.

[Thanks, Det!]

You could also just bookmark your Xbox.com friends list...

Seems easier than maintaining multiple lists to me.

There is actually an iPhone/iPod native application available:

(currently only confirmed to work on 1.1.1, but your mileage may vary)

Thank you for the post and feedback. I hope that folks find the application useful. If anyone has questions or comments, send an XBOX Live Message to 'borocouncilman'.

Thanks again!

P.S. I can't wait for the SDK to hit.

I know the guy that made this app. He is on my friends list and he was waiting in line for Halo 3 at midnight at the same GameStop I was.

Wow...talk about going beyond the "me first" in a post.

The Halo 3 midnight launch was a good deal of fun. After getting home, I played it until 5:30AM. Darn well nearly completed the campaign in a single sitting. Pop me a game invite if you'd like to party up.

Happy Frags!
