I just installed it, it's pretty cool checking the xbox news while you're gaming or you can listen to podcasts. Maybe this will evolve into a real web browser, anyways it's a first step.

Please don't download, and if you have it delete it. This program was not done right, I has killed xblradio.com and gamerandy.com Please don't get this and if you have it remove it until the problem has been solved. For more info check out xbstreams.com and check there forums
