Even if you're not planning on picking up one of Espoo's latest handsets, Microsoft is also on the scene at
Nokia World 2011 giving live demos of the upcoming
Xbox Companion remote app for Windows Phone 7. It allows for simple remote control of video playback on one's console, plus content browsing / search with Bing and other metadata display, as seen in two demo videos from the show floor embedded after the break. Also seen in both of the demo videos? An orange tile suspiciously labeled
Vudu Movies, despite the lack of any official announcement that the (currently
PS3 exclusive) Wal-mart owned service is coming to Xbox Live. A third demo shows off gaming integration with
Kinectimals that lets animals jump back and forth from console to phone. Now that the Xbox 360 will integrate search and playback from
more video services than ever after the fall update, we'll see if the remote app draws Xbox fans to Microsoft's phone platform.
