XboxLive Friends:
Gives you a quick and convenient way to check if your friends are online and what they're doing. All wrapped up in a sexy package.
Soon(ish)!:
I've decided to rewrite this app and design it better. When I initially wrote it, it was my first attempt at a webOs app, and as such isn't put together terribly well. So I decided to toss out this quick bug fix release before I begin on the rewrite.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q - Does it log in with my xbox live account and download my friends list?
A - No. And it will never support logging into live.
Q - Do I have to type every gamertag I wish to track?
A - Yes.
Q - How about achievement details?
A - Microsoft's API doesn't give out achievement details. So there is no way for me to get it into the app.
Q - The server is down?
A - This happens sometimes. The app goes through my less-than-stellar server, and it's prone to connection problems. If you would like to donate some better hardware, Send me a PM.
Q - It goes through your server?
A - See this post for more information:

Q - How about a PS3 Version?
A - I have no interest to create PS3 friends app. But I'm sure someone will create one eventually. Update: Someone did:

Previous Updates:
XboxLive Friends v0.5.0: [7/4/09] [Initial Release]
Features:- Friends List showing who is online and what they're doing.
- Friend View with expanded information about each friend.
- Updates friend status in the background every 5 minutes.
XboxLive Friends v0.5.1: [7/22/09]
This update is just a few bug fixes. One that was stopping you from removing gamertags. And another that would have cropped up and made the app completely unusable once webOs1.1 was released. (I highly suggest you update for this reason alone.)
