Little by little, Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox SmartGlass app is becoming more useful. Microsoft Director of Programming for Xbox LIVE Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb announced on Monday the release of the Sports Picks app, which allows users to "make picks, compete with your Xbox LIVE friends and fight for domination of the leaderboard." Xbox SmartGlass also has new ESPN and NBA Game Time experiences that provide second-screen information and navigation to "thousands of live events, highlights and replays" during a game. Xbox SmartGlass is compatible with dozens of existing Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8 smartphones and tablets as well as Windows 8-compatible mobile devices. The new update to Xbox SmartGlass is the latest in Microsoft's attempts to position the Xbox 360 as the ultimate living room device.
