You've got your fancy new iPhone 5 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone5), and you've got the Xbox SmartGlass (http://www.engadget.com/tag/smartglass) app, but who wants those silly black bars on the sides? Certainly not you, aesthetic savant, which is why you'll be glad to hear that Microsoft's latest update to the SmartGlass app optimizes it for use with the iPhone 5's taller, 16x9 screen. Aside from device support expansion, the update also includes the ambiguous "bug fixes." No broken bugs for you, only fixed ones! The Xbox SmartGlass app launched earlier this year for Windows Phone 8, Android and iOS, with a staggered rollout across the various mobile ecosystems. Beyond just allowing for basic Xbox 360 control via mobile, SmartGlass propagates rich content to your second screen in-tandem with some software,from games (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/15/dance-central-3-smartglass/) to streaming video (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/microsoft-smartglass-hands-on/).
