Xbox Live app for iPhone

Looks like from the comments on the store that it has been blocked now, i would really like something like this though, with the possibility of messaging my friends ingame, because that feature blows from the controller...

i'd wait, because this developer is going to definintly give this away for free, why would this just become blocked if they can do something about it?

Looks like a really cool app but I think something like this should come directly from MS to make sure your information is secure (as HazyCloud keeps pointing out).

I don't have an XBL account so I'll never download this but it would be cool if the avatars were actually animated.

I would say Sony should follow suit with a Home iPhone app but that would mean people actually using Home.

It's funny that MS requires that all apps that access Xbox Live must be free, yet they require that all Publishers charge for the DL content on Xbox Live. MS loves to make money from Xbox Live but absolutely forbids anyone else from doing the same unless they get a cut.

Looks like it's pulled already.

seriously XNA????

I don't know how you can justify saying that Apple ripped XNA off.

XNA is for games, on the xbox (and the Zune, but MS has yet to allow devs to sell their apps for the Zune, though the XNA platform has been available for the Zune since the original Zune 30 at 2.0). The App Store is for apps (which include games, but also many many other things). XNA is an afterthought compared to the app store. Who even cares about XNA on the xbox?

SO basically what you are saying that Apple took an idea like giving developers a set of tools to make developing on their platform easier (which is not an original idea that MS created) and then Apple made it better by giving them an easy, accessible, and lucrative way to sell their apps to all iphone users. Yeah, then you are right...Apple also did that with the ipod and the laptop and the desktop. What's the big deal?

uh... XNA...? did that thing go anywhere?

MS seems to have a lot of failed side projects... you got some nerve claiming MS deserves a pat on the back for the success of the App Store.

You know they should have done? They should have done the App Store like 10 years ago on ... Windows Mobile. I know I know, they have something like it. It's just got like 500 apps, that all look like Windows 3.1.

Any MS, I hope you enjoy the next 10 years writing iPhone apps.

Wow it's only 10 in the morning and Joanna D has delivered the stupidest comment of the day. Can you please make it stupider by actually trying to back up your claim.

Do not download this. If you do you are putting your personal information at risk. This app requires you to sign in with your Windows Live ID to pull your friends list and is in no way affiliated with Microsoft. It will get pulled. MS does not allow third parties like this to use their Live service.

If you want a friends list app, download one of 1337pwn's apps. Neither one of their apps require your Microsoft or Windows info. You simply add what friends you'd like to follow.

1337pwn's app is still the best Xbox app hands down. It does not require you to sign in at all. You simply add what friends you want to follow.
