Seems my intense need to have the My Xbox Live app on my Android was felt by Microsoft. They released it today in the Google Play store, yay!

Major Nelson sure loves his tweets, always giving the lowdown on all things Xbox and sometimes Microsoft. This time the Major took time to blurt out that the low-key Spring update was rolling on down the pipe for owners of the Halo home. Before you get all hot and bothered, only a few peeps are finding the pop-up to download the newest dash. Major says the rest of us plebeians should expect to see the download hitting our consoles next week.

The update is nothing special to speak of in terms of new freshness, instead we’re looking at future prep and under the hood tweaks. Most likely they’re working on getting the system ready for the recently announced features at E3, extra fun like SmartGlass and Xbox Music. I’d be interested in SmartGlass if MS would get off their rumps and open up the My Xbox app to Android. As of now, it’s available on iDevices and Windows Phone only.

Any geeks out there getting the update? Bum rush the comments!
