Xbox Smartglass on an iPad

Microsoft have updated the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch version of the Xbox SmartGlass app. The iOS app is now at version 2.5, the only details Microsoft give about the update is it contains “Bug Fixes” and I can’t see any changes to the app but hopefully it improves the connectivity with the Xbox 360 as I have issues with that in the past.

With the app you can navigate around the Xbox, control media and interact with games and video content. The app is free from the iTunes store.
