It looks as though Microsoft will be going on the application offensive in the coming weeks as not only did they announce changes to the ESPN app to support its SmartGlass technology, but today they announced they’ll be adding a plethora of applications including Flixster, MTV, Vimeo and The CW Network.
Many of the new applications will be rolled out in the coming weeks, but some, including Cnet, Karaoke and Microsoft’s SkyDrive can be downloaded on your Xbox 360 immediately. Although, Xbox Live’s Major Nelson warns gamers looking for their anticipated application to be patient:
“You should be able to download these apps from the Xbox LIVE marketplace starting today. Give it some time though, we’re rolling out a lot of apps at once and it may take a day or two for all the apps to arrive.”
