Ios Users Get Xbox On Their Gadgets Via Smartglass App
Soon after publishing the SmartGlass application on Windows 8 and Android smartphones
, Microsoft has made it available to holders of iOS devices.
To promote interactions with its Xbox console, Microsoft introduced the Xbox SmartGlass in June, a new version of its Xbox Companion. This new fun filled application is now available for the iPhone and iPad.
After logging on the Microsoft account, the mobile user can explore the contents of the Xbox directly from the device but also use the keyboard to search on Xbox. Since the last update of games consoles from Microsoft, they now include Internet Explorer 10. The latter can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet to scroll through a page or zooming.
This app can transform iOS devices into a kind of extension or second screen of the Xbox, so you can navigate menus, manage your videos and music as well as browse the Internet, all to make it easier to control your console through your mobile device.
Additionally, the application allows playing certain games simultaneously on the console, and in this case, on the iPhone or iPad. So one player can be on the Xbox and the other on the team can play through iOS. SmartGlass application is the update for what we knew as My Xbox Live for iOS and Android, and in the case of Windows Phone, the Xbox Companion. SmartGlass is now also available for Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
On the description sheet of Xbox SmartGlass, Microsoft adds that the application also serves as a remote control for "play, pause, fast forward and stop videos, and music." The user will now be able to see their success, change their profile information but also send messages to contacts.
Ultimately, the application allows you to:
