    So, what WP features will iOS 6 and Android 5 rip-off this time?

    iOS
    - Facebook integration
    - Possible live tiles alternative

    Anything else?

    Hmmm....interesting question.

    I could see them doing something where app icons can show info like a live tile. They already do that with the weather app.

    I wonder why MS conference is only for 1 day while GOOG and AAPL have 3-5 days of show time

    I don't think MS is going to show off everything, they will leave some stuff for October.

    how about ripping off the way the OS handles multiple cores ? it would create more impact than any features....I read a report stating android does not seem to be utilizing the multiple cores in an efficient manner...Windows Phone seems to be doing really good even with lower configurations...I imagine they would create wonders with multiple cores

    Looks like they didn't steal much from anyone, but they did play a lot of catch up with Google Maps.

    Have you seen the Gizmodo post about how outdated Apple's maps are, though? Google still has more details and info, so they are still playing with a lead here. All the techies are going to be using Google Maps, but the regular consumers are going to stick with the regular mapping software. We'll see how it plays out.

    I try to avoid Gizmodo, the least professional tech blog on the web. It's interesting though, Apple keeps boasting about 200+ new features, I've only heard anyone talk about two or three of them. And the Siri updates don't even count, Siri can be improved anytime considering it's AI isn't accessed locally.

    I would love to see some sort of live tiles/apps in iOS!
