Microsoft wants iPhone Xbox Live Apps to be free of charge

August 19, 2008 · Print This Article

Here’s some good news for Xbox Live and Apple iPhone subscribers. Microsoft has officially halted the distribution of related applications by at Apple’s AppStore. No, that move is not to put a stop to creative coding, but rather it is a move to form all programs offered to patrons absolutely free of charge.

This news is revealed by the creators of the 1337pwn Friends List application (an app that allows users to access to their own XBL Friends List through Apple’s iPhone) that wee hours, coming

from a recent discussion with Microsoft’s developer relations agency.

Although some are wary that that could be a covert tactic from Microsoft as they are gearing up for development of their own iPhone applications, we guess users still have all reasons to be happy that all Xbox Live-related applications are now free. More updates on that as they come.
