First up, the new Android app will offer similar functionality to the iOS app that was released last December, and will contain the following features:

• View, manage, and message friends
• View and compare your achievement progress with friends
• Read and Edit your full LIVE profile (name, bio, motto)
• See your 3-D Avatar and customize it while on-the-go
• Access your recent activity and manage your Beacons
• Stay connected to the Xbox LIVE community via Spotlight

The new iOS updates provides a number of new functions, the main one being that iPhone users can now use the app to interact with their console.

The iOS app will now include the following updates:

iPhone:
• Use your iPhone with your Xbox to connect, control and discover content on your console. Connect your iPhone for access to a quick list of your most recent console activity. Control your content with play, pause, fast forward and rewind media controls. Find fresh entertainment to play in the new Discover section.
• Improved Authentication to make it more stable

iPad:
• Improved Authentication to make it more stable
• iPad high-resolution images
The blog update also went on to confirm that this is not the SmartGlass update that Microsoft revealed during last week's E3 press conference.

The app is pretty great. Works smoothly on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE but doesn't work on a Motorola Xoom tablet.
