Windows Phone 7 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/wp7) is getting a lot of extensions this year and, while we wouldn't say Kinect interoperability (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/microsoft-rally-ball-demo-shows-windows-phone-7-kinect-xbox-li/) is anywhere near as important as third-party multitasking, it could be fun. Still, we haven't seen proper Kinect interop, the sort that would see you controlling WP7 games with a Kinect -- the sort that is apparently possible on Android (http://www.engadget.com/tag/android). YouTuber HirotakaSter has managed to hook a Kinect up to Android hardware, what looks to be an Armadillo 500 FX development platform, and get everything to play nice. He's using openFrameworks and, while at this point the software isn't doing much other than showing a video stream from the camera, the possibilities from here are quite simplyinfinite (http://www.engadget.com/tag/kinect,hack).
