Xbox SmartGlass and Xbox Music won't be available on iOS and Android for another six months, Microsoft has revealed.

Xbox Live product manager Pav Bhardwaj said that only Windows 8 PCs and Surface tablets will be available to access Xbox SmartGlass and Xbox Music from October 26.

Windows Phone 8 will support both services when it launches in "late November", followed by iOS and Android in the next six months.

"We've worked really hard to make sure that the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 experience is optimal and perfect," he told Digital Spy.

"Once those are out the way, we'll then start to make any announcements for anything else beyond that, but we think it'll be within the next six months."

Announced at E3, Xbox SmartGlass allows tablets and phones to communicate with the Xbox 360, allowing users to send media and additional information to a second screen.

Users will be able to play media on multiple devices simultaneously, or move content they were viewing on a tablet over to a television screen, while the mobile device starts serving out relevant information about the movie or TV show.

SmartGlass will also be used for gaming, allowing users to create plays on their tablets while playing Madden, or arrange multiplayer battles in Halo.

Services and games such as Xbox Music, Xbox Video, Dance Central 3 and Forza Horizon will support Xbox Smart Glass from day one.
