Video Shows Off Kinect And Windows Phone 7 Integration

I'm starting to get the feeling that every Microsoft tech demo until the end of time is going to feature Rally Ball from Kinect Adventures. The next Microsoft Word will be controlled by swatting colored balls at the letter you want to type. Windows 8 will utilize icons that constantly bounce around your desktop. According to this video, you'll soon be able to screw with Kinect players utilizing your Windows Phone 7 device.

Considering a tech demo is supposed to sell you on an idea, I'm not sure if this is really doing its job. Rally Ball was a decent distraction in Kinect Adventures, but would having a couple people tap their phones behind you really make it that much more fun? Here's hoping Microsoft has more up their sleeves than this ho-hum demo.
