I wonder if Microsoft will create interconnectivity between the Xbox 360 and
PDAs running windows mobile. They did it for ipods and can do it for
streaming between PC and 360

Not sure what reason I would want to connect a PDA to a 360, but it would be
good just for a sense of completion really.

Maybe the ability to backup gamesaves, arcade games, profiles. I have not
tried to plug in my PDA to my 360 yet and I am sure it will work but display
only as a USB mass storage device. But it would be nice to have deeper
functions.

Doesn't Microsoft have plans to have movies through the 360? Maybe
you'd want to send images from the 360 to the PDA? (Like you can with
Zune?)

My understanding is with the 360 you can buy games, movies, tv shows,
etc. on line. (Micosoft Market place?)

Images would work okay as I am sure it will already be detected as a mass
storage device although I have not yet tried it. I will test it later.

The movies and TV show download centre has not yet been launched here in the
UK but maybe soon.

So test it already...I'm curious too :) Drop some music in there too and
see if the 360 will play it.

Well I over estimated it.
The 360 does not even recognise it as a mass storage device. Oh well :-(

Sucks. Seems strange that a lot of these big companies, like Sony and
Microsoft, have a hard time getting their smaller parts to work with each
other. Seems like getting all of their subsidiaries working together would
be better for their overall profits.

Well XP works with it, Vista does as does Media Centre. I guess pocket
versions are just overlooked for whatever reason. Its a shame as I am sure
there are many things that can be put to good use.

That won't sell Zunes or Xbox360 memory sticks, so unlikely.
The windows mobile platform is a mess, it would probably mean an update
from every manufacture, also wiping the device.
