The Xbox Companion app for Windows Phone 7 is finally available for download today if you are the proud owner of an XBOX 360 console (I’m not so I can’t test it for you sorry). If you own an iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) Microsoft has also released an Xbox Live application which brings the basic Xbox Live functionalities found in the first iteration of Windows Phone 7 and the Xbox Extras app to Apple’s best selling platform.

Now if Microsoft took the time to develop and release a similar application for Zune on the PC I would be even happier…cause this was one of the first app that Apple developed for iOS a few years ago (iTunes Remote).
