VIDEO: Xbox Companion app on Nokia Lumia demo

Interacting with Xbox 360 using a Nokia Lumia smartphone.
Running the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system, Nokia's Lumia smartphones can take advantage of Xbox Live features. In a demo video, posted by Nokia Conversations, "Krissy" from Microsoft demonstrates using a Nokia Lumia prototype phone to connect with an Xbox 360 console nearby.

In blog posts describing the demo, it's admitted that there were limits as to what could be shown from the demo stand at this time, with apparently plenty more to come in the near-future.
