Zumobi has put out a Xbox 360 channel app out that looks pretty cool and is free. I am more of a Wii man myself but I can see the appeal. The channel gives you access to information and stories along with news, video/audio, community updates, gamer tag status and more on your BlackBerry.
Sadly the app is only for the 81XX, 83XX, & 88XX series devices so newer and older devices are out of luck…
You can read more at the partner page or you can download it OTA at xbox.zumobi.com

Well just like the original Zumobi, this too is just NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME!
The first time I tried running it, it locked up my BlackBerry. A battery pull later, and at least the app ran, but it couldn’t find my Gamer tag! What, it’s too hard to anticipate a SPACE character in a Gamer tag? It works on the XBox Mobile site…
Back to the drawing board….

I have the same problem as JerryD, it will not see my gamertag. It did not lock up my BB, but it is very slow. I guess a few updates are needed before it is actually useful.

Yeah, much rather use XBerry Live! More lighter footprint and don’t have to deal with Zumobi and all the problems it brings.
