Some games like "Bejeweled 2" already seem right at home on your console, computer and mobile device, and Microsoft now has plans to extend saved games across all three platforms, at least if you plan on running three Microsoft operating systems. During a recent keynote presentation at TechEd Middle East in Dubai, Microsoft's Eric Rudder showcased a concept that extend access to a single game across Windows Phone 7, the Xbox 360, and Windows 7.


"It remembers what level I'm on," Rudder explained in the demonstration posted on Engadget. After transitioning from his phone to an Xbox, the game resumed play from his phone-based save.

The platform adventure game on display demonstrated compatibility across interface schemes, using the accelerometer and touch controls on Rudder's phone and the 360's gamepad. Such possibilities should be welcome advancements for developers. It will be interesting to see if Apple has a response to this system and what kinds of games will take advantage.
