Microsoft has announced that 43 new apps will be launched for Xbox Live between now and Spring 2013. With the launch of so many non-gaming apps, Microsoft wants to prove that Xbox 360 is more than just a gaming console.
An app for SkyDrive for Xbox Live is already available. So are apps called ARTE, CinemaNow, Karaoke, Maxim, Napster, SPORT1, Zattoo and others. Others will be launched soon – some right away, and the others up to Spring 2013.
Some of the apps being launched include:
