Weâve known for years that Microsoft would be expanding Xbox Live beyond the Xbox console. Heck, with Games For Windows, itâs (practically) already started. Still, new info is always appreciated!

A job posting on Microsoftâs site for a Principal Program Manager specifically asks the successful applicant to âdrive the platform and bring Xbox LIVE enabled games to Windows Mobileâ. Thatâs the part we knew.
Some new stuff, however, comes in how theyâll be doing this, saying âThis person will focus specifically on what makes gaming experiences âLIVE Enabledâ through aspects such as avatar integration, social interactions, and multi-screen experiencesâ.
SoâŠyour avatar can hang out on your 360 and your phone. That was a given. The âmulti-screenâ part is interesting, though. Remember how the GameCube and GBA could link up and share game info? Like, how in Wind Waker you could get little maps and bonus info on the Game Boy Advanceâs screen? This might be like that. Only, people might actually use it.
