Wondering what ever happened to Microsoft's original plan for Live Anywhere? For some, it's been taking the company a while to fully finish the integration of the service across many platforms. Xbox Live Executive John Schappert said that the service is till going to push through. Know more after the jump!

Gamasutra had a chat with In-Fusio's Senior VP of Marketing, Andy Babb, about being a part of Microsoft's Live Anywhere stint via the recently launched Halo: Mobile Portal.

The Halo: Mobile Portal makes it possible for cellphone users to get updated on Halo 3, with wallpapers, ringtones, game tips, as well as Xbox Live stats. The interview tackles topics such as "The Vault", the Halo community, and why they didn't wait until Halo 3 was released before launching the mobile portal.

According to Babb, the mobile edition of Halo couldn't have been postponed any longer because this app is something that the Halo community has been asking, no, demanding from them for a long time now. And with such strong demand from the community, they simply couldn't say no.

As for "The Vault", this is where the unlockable goodies are stored, and can only be accessed via codes derived from the Halo universe. Each code will be able to access a specific item of specialty content. There are codes hidden in online places that Halo fans frequently visit while some will simply be revealed in time.
