Today Microsoft has announced its next mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7 Series. The part that’s relevant to your interests is — surprise! — it will support Xbox LIVE.
According to the press release, the Games “hub delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on the phone.” This will include Xbox LIVE games, avatars, achievements, your gamer profile, and more. No word on to what extent it will support Xbox LIVE games, but we hope to hear more soon.

Okay, maybe not, but the platform does look pretty impressive. Check out what it can do in the video above.
