Images Of New Dashboard Leaked

Images Of New Dashboard Leaked

The guys at The Verge deliver the goods

Written by DavieMarshall on 27 July 12 at 16:27

Remember that public beta that was announced and closed within an incredibly short space of time? Well there are already leaked images hitting the web, and some of the first and most informative I've seen are from reliable tech-news source, The Verge.

The images clearly show IE9 running on the Xbox 360 and it appears to be quite adept and bringing the web to your TV via a console. Settings are handled via a settings menu overlay, and the concept of bookmarks appears to be brought to the Xbox via 'pins'. Also pictured is the new Xbox Music experience and some Kinect personalisation updates.

The Verge's informant allegedly says the build of IE9 is highly customised and reportedly tabbed browsing is cut from the product which may be disappointing to some. HTML5 is reportedly supported though which is a big box ticked.

Beyond that there's SmartGlass activation built in though not yet functioning, and a generally faster feel to the dashboard.

Take a peek at the images below and let us know what you think in the comments. Please though guys, remember if you're in the beta that NDA still holds fast. We wouldn't want anyone getting banned for providing information first hand!

The exercise info page has been there for months, I added my details ages ago. Looking forward to trying out IE and the pins though - hoping that the pins aren't just for web bookmarks... I'd like to pin my favourite games and people to the home screen like I do on my Windows Phone.

If you get good at making excuses, it's difficult to get good at anything else.

Adecool said:misleading title. i thought it was a new xbox dashboardIt is - it's not a huge overhaul like the last few, but it is a dashboard update adding lots of extras. We'll be "stuck" with this Metro theme for a long time now, even the new Xbox will have a very similar theme to make sure it matches Windows Phone and Windows 8.

And it's a great decision imo.

Pass I'll use my PC, laptop, tablet or phone before I even use the browser. I've got the net on my PS3 and do you know how many times I've used that.....One and I've even got a keyboard for the PS3.

The how tall and fat are you Is already in your dashboard and the rest looks almost identical. The best way they could make the dashboard customisable is allow you to use an early version where everything seem to be easier to find.

One more thing though, can they please put new release DLC into a folder which expands into sub folders. I don't want to have to cycle through 40 rock band tracks everytime I check for new DLC. A simple sub folder with the product and newest release date for content would be so much better.
