"One browsing session travelling across three screens, that’s the magic of SmartGlass"

During the video above we can see a neat part of the integration between Windows Phone 8 on an ATIV S and the Xbox 360. While using IE on the phone, he taps the context menu and choose share to Xbox, the browser session is sent via console and display. Text can be entered using the phones superior keyboard and gestures can be used to control the screen. Some of the features we have already seen but it’s nice to see them working as we hit the final stages. Then, we show how using SmartGlass applications on the phone, it’s possible to bring the browser session back to the tablet by pressing the Play Here button, launching IE on the tablet. In his words “one browsing session travelling across three screens, that’s the magic of SmartGlass”.
