Developer gets Kinect working on Android, rains on Microsoft's WP7 parade (video)

Windows Phone 7 is getting a lot of extensions this year and, while we wouldn't say Kinect interoperability is anywhere near as important as third-party multitasking, it could be fun. Still, we haven't seen proper Kinect interop, the sort that would see you controlling WP7 games with a Kinect -- the sort that is apparently possible on Android.
YouTuber HirotakaSter has managed to hook a Kinect up to Android
hardware, what looks to be an Armadillo 500 FX development platform, and
get everything to play nice. He's using openFrameworks and, while at
this point the software isn't doing much other than showing a video
stream from the camera, the possibilities from here are quite simply infinite.
