Rumour: the Xbox will get a full version of Internet Explorer. More rumours: it will rely heavily on Kinect controls, for Minority Report-style operation and voice control. Even more rumours: no date on launching date yet. [The Verge]

glad i just bought the keypad. not that i'll use it that much when i have a laptop next to me.
I wish the Xbox companion app on windows phone gave you a qwerty keyboard when rotated landscape.
So if this does eventuate I might have a reason to use Internet Explorer!.. Well probably briefly, and just for the novelty value of a Kinect powered browser, before switching back to the tried and tested keyboard and mouse powered Firefox :P
About bloody time!
PS3 and Wii's browsers are just ... well, crap. IE9 may not be the fastest on PC, but if I could get IE9-quality browsing on my TV through a console - and with gesture-based navigation to boot - I'd definitely use it!
Kinect is totally unuseable. I bought it for the kids and although you can navigate the dashboard by using Kinect it takes ten times longer and is totally unresponsive. Better off flicking about with the controller.
