Microsoft to unviel Xbox Smart Glass tablet at E3?

The last couple of weeks leading up to E3 have been good for anyone that loves insider information. Today’s leak is the largest one yet, and comes from Microsoft. The people behind "Xbox" and "Xbox Live" will be revealing the Xbox Smart Glass tablet.

Specifics from insiders include:

It will allow users to control their Xbox 360 remotely. Will be available cross platform on multiple operating systems including Windows, Windows Phone, Android and iOS.

Applications will be accessible through the tablet. Such as Youtube/Netflix/Vemo ect.

Live streaming ability through the tablet to the TV, desktop, laptop and other devices.

This is a giant step for Microsoft, a company that has stayed out of the tablet business for the most part. I’m not sure how much we will see at E3 regarding the Xbox Smart Glass, but I’m sure this is the reason why we won’t be seeing much about Microsoft’s next generation console.


This news was posted yesterday and as if to seemingly confirm this story M$ today registered a slew of web domains:

However one lucky Chinese man beat M$ to the .com domain, expect him to make a fair bit of cash there

bit confused with regards to the different os`s - is this simply an app or a full tablet experience?

Nobody is sure mate although all the news stories call it an actual tablet, it's possible the software will be available for Android iOS etc too
