It looks like Xbox LIVE mobile gaming might not be exclusive to Windows Phone devices in the future. While Microsoft hasn?t officially announced any plans to bring its games over to iOS and Android devices, a recent job posting on the Microsoft Careers website seems to point at that direction.
According to the job posting, Microsoft is looking for a software development engineer to work with the Xbox LIVE team ?to bring the latest and greatest gaming and entertainment experience to mobile platforms including Windows Phone, iOS and other mobile platforms? Experience of Windows Phone, iOS or Android development is a big plus.?
Now for all we know, Microsoft could just be looking for developers to bring the My Xbox LIVE app to Android and work on the iOS version but it seems quite unlikely from the job description. If Microsoft does bring its Xbox LIVE games to other platforms, it would increase its popularity but it would also get rid of one of Windows Phone?s selling points. What do you think? Should Microsoft bring Xbox LIVE to other platforms?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.??
iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.??
