Xbox Gamer Tag Info on Windows Mobile

Since the launch of Xbox I’ve been expecting Microsoft to launch a Windows Mobile client that would let you track your friends progress while you were away from the console. Sadly, Microsoft has not stepped up to the plate on this and there are now clients popping up for other mobile platforms.

Thanks to the hard work of ZaaM IT, that’s all changing. He’s just released an early beta of WM Live – a Windows Mobile based application that allows you to check up on your friends while you’re mobile and away from the Xbox console. You add in all the Gamer Tags that you are interested in following, and then you can scroll left and right through them. Selecting a friend will display a more detailed list of their recent progress.

You can download the latest version from ZaaM IT’s website. Please make sure you have the .Net Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device (most recent devices will already have this). Also, it’s important to know that the current version does not support non-touch devices. I’ve been told that this will be added once the touch version becomes more stable.

Thanks to Peter for telling us about the story posted over on joystiq. There’s another picture of the detailed screen after the break.
