Hardware 2.0 posted a story that Microsoft is planning to roll out a new dashboard update for its Xbox 360 console tomorrow that will see custom apps from a range of TV and entertainment content providers being made available.



According to Microsoft, this new dashboard is where ‘a new era in entertainment begins.’ Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft, had this to say:

“A new era in entertainment begins where all your entertainment is together in one place - your games, movies, TV shows, music and sports. With this update, Xbox 360 system owners will experience Kinect voice control integrated with Bing search, making your TV and entertainment experiences more social and personal than ever.”
  Can Microsoft beat Apple and Google and successfully 'appify' the TV?
