Going by the implicit inference from job ads that Microsoft has recently posted on its site, it is likely that the software maker intends integrating its Xbox Live online gaming platform with Windows Mobile devices - a move that will take shape towards 2010 end, when the Windows Mobile 7 platform will be launched.

Microsoft's endeavors to bring Xbox LIVE on Windows Mobile devices reiterates the company's 2006-announced Xbox Live Anywhere program, underlining its often-mentioned 'three screens' notion that would help create a seamless computing experience between a user's PC, television and mobile device, and even the cloud.

The job postings, uncovered by Mobile Techworld, reveal that Microsoft is on the lookout for a Principal Program Manager and a Software Test Engineer for joining the LIVE team - with both the advertised positions clearly indicating the company's focus on the integration of Xbox LIVE with Windows Mobile.

The ad for the principal program manager says that the person in that position will be required to "focus specifically on what makes gaming experiences 'LIVE Enabled' through aspects such as avatar integration, social interactions, and multi-screen experiences."

Meanwhile, the second ad, for Software Test Engineer, mentions that with Mobile Entertainment as the key focus, the software tester will "have the opportunity to make a critical impact on the next release of Windows Mobile."
