The Xbox SmartGlass announcement was an interesting adrenaline shot in the leg for the now aging xbox 360. With Kinect being a way to extend the life of the console two years ago to to match the motion control craze, SmartGlass is a further push to unique future game play elements but also furthers the Home Theater Set Top Box-ification of the Xbox console. Not just that but it is an example of how people in the home are using multiple devices to experience television and gaming now. And yes that is a good thing.
