Last week at the E3 event presentation, Microsoft demonstrated the new “SmartGlass” application that links Xbox 360 gaming console to Windows, Android and iOS powered devices, allowing users to remotely control an Xbox 360 connected TV display from touchscreen enabled devices with support for swiping, pinching and tapping gestures. Today, Microsoft has updated the official Xbox Live iOS app to allow controlling content playing on an Xbox 360 using the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Users can now use their iOS device as an Xbox 360 remote to perform functions like play, pause, fast forward and rewind (via 9to5Mac).
Here is list of new features in My Xbox Live iOS app version 1.5:
