Microsoft have just released this video showing their Windows 7 phone connecting and interacting with the Kinect. If you ignore the over the top, stock photography brought to life performances of the actors this is a really interesting development. Continuing on the early 2011 trend of interaction between mobile and TV, the use of the phone as an extra controller opens the door to some interesting possibilities.
Say for example microsoft developed a television with the Kinect built in - bypassing the need for advertising to be served in-game through the XBox - that allowed advertisers to develop interactive television advertising that is effected and manipulated by the windows 7 phone. Very interesting.
