No one's jaw hit the floor when Microsoft demoed Xbox LIVE running on its new Windows Phone 7 platform earlier this week, but what about a similar connection to Sony's PlayStation Network?

Oh the possibilities, if we take Microsoft senior product manager Michael Chang's comments to TechRadar.com seriously.

"If you look at our history in mobiles, we have never blocked anything off this platform because we compete in the same space, at least not in the phone space," Chang told TechRadar.com, suggesting the company has always had an open-door policy for apps from competitors in other areas.

"While I won't cite a specific scenario, I think our concept of openness with partners and our mobile ecosystem often includes our competitors, such as allowing Exchange on other devices."
