Anywhere Gaming

At the E3 tech conference yesterday, Microsoft announced Live Anywhere - a platform that allows gamers to move from one gadget to another and still play the same game. Paul Miller over at Engadget explains:

Whether you’re at your PC or rocking a mobile, you’ll be able to track your gamer tag, message friends, purchase content for that device or set it to download to another device, and of course compare rankings with your buddies on various gaming titles. Halo isn’t going to run so well on your RAZR, so for actual cross platform titles, Microsoft is sticking with XBLA-esque games that can translate easily to different platform, such as Bejeweled.

We suppose, that although the functionality is targeted towards gamers right now, there will be a host of alternative apps and services that could use Live Anywhere.
