Another fun news item coming out of Microsoft today is the new Xbox Mobile App has launched into beta on Google Play for Android. The app has been rebuilt from the ground up and has been designed to make it easier for you to stay connected and game with friends no matter where you are. This update marks the next step in the company's plans to make a unified Xbox experience across multiple devices. The next Xbox app (beta) is coming to all Xbox supported markets, and all gamers are invited to download and check it out beginning today. Unfortunately, its only for gamers with an Android phone, as there is no word yet as to what they will be doing with Apple and those of us using an iPhone.
