Now that it has hooked up with Nokia Corp. phones, Microsoft Corp. hopes to connect its phone software to the Xbox this year too. It's also planning other improvements that include a faster Web browser and quicker switching between phone applications.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the upgrades in a keynote speech last week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Nokia has said it would ditch its smart phone software in favor of using Windows Phone 7, which launched late last year.
Microsoft showed a video of three people using an Xbox game console with a Kinect camera. One of them, standing in front of the camera, "dodged" balls that appeared on the TV screen, sent by the two other players from their Windows phones.
