You can forget about your dreams of an Xbox 360 Portable. That's so 2006. No, at this year's E3, Microsoft did something much more surprising: instead of getting proprietary, it hopped on everyone else's platform instead.
Xbox SmartGlass was the touted application, service, technology -- whatever you want to call it -- that stood for new technology at Microsoft's E3 press conference this morning in Los Angeles. It needed some jolt of new produce excitement, arguably, and SmartGlass can stand in as this year's "what is that?" buzzword, a second-screen concept for turning seemingly any smartphone or tablet into an additional display when watching movies, playing games, or browsing online.
-CNET"At this year's show, Microsoft made its hardest push yet for content other than gaming on its console. Trying to entice a general audience rather than just hardcore gamers, Microsoft showed that SmartGlass could work with television shows, movies and Web browsing." Microsoft also showed how a user could start watching a movie on a tablet, pause it, and then resume watching it on a television. -
