Microsoft has confirmed it's working on Xbox LIVE integration for future Windows Mobile devices. In a job posting for a LIVE engagement program manager, the software giant hints at what is being planned. "We need a Principle Program Manager who can help drive the platform and bring Xbox LIVE enabled games to Windows Mobile. This person will focus specifically on what makes gaming experiences "LIVE Enabled" through aspects such as avatar integration, social interactions, and multi-screen experiences." Windows Mobile 7 is expected "late next year" after a Microsoft official confirmed the time frame earlier this month.

Well, it'll be interesting to see how integrated they can get this with XBL and the 360 in general. But it's a smart move and makes sense.
