This week, Microsoft made available for download a new flavor of the Xbox SmartGlass application for devices running under its Windows Phone operating system.

The update arrives along with the iOS flavor of the application, and is available for download at the moment for all devices powered by the Windows Phone 7.5 and higher platform releases.

Xbox SmartGlass was designed as the companion application for Windows Phone users who own an Xbox console, enabling them to easily navigate straight from their handsets.

Users can also type on the console from the phone, or can browse the Internet on Xbox 360 with full keyboard and zooming. Features such as play, pause, fast forward, rewind, and stop videos and music on the Xbox 360 are also available.

The Xbox SmartGlass application can be downloaded for free from the Windows Phone Store.
