There's a little bit of integration between the two. For instance, with SkyDrive you'll be be able to see your pics taken with your phone. Your calendars will also sync. From what I hear also, with some of the Xbox games you can start a game on your phone stop and pickup where you left off on a different device. Either your Xbox console, a W8 tablet or desktop. Almost forgot, your music also syncs across all devices.have a Windows phone? In other words, what can a Windows phone do related to the laptop and tablet that an Android or iPhone can't do?

<q> "Their goal is to eventually have all apps available between the devices. This is supposed to give you the ability to go from one device to the next and still be using your favorite apps." </q>
Can the other two formats currently accomplish this? As in, (MacBook, iPad and iPhone) and (ChromeBook, Galaxy tablet and Android phone). I am sorry for all the questions. I am not trying to start a format war. I am just trying to learn.

Last I checked anyway(things change all the time). I do not believe you can run IOS apps on OSX or android apps on Chrome OS natively either. So basically at the moment, Apple, Microsoft and Google all have just as good of a chance at accomplishing this as the next if they see fit to. I believe Google is working on something between Chrome OS and Android as well if they haven't already.

I still say, bring all the features of WindowsRT on WP, that would be awesome.
I don't have a Windows RT tablet but from your quote am I correct in thinking that RT has more apps versus WP?

Yes, thank you all for this informative thread. I've learned some new to me features to share with the wife as we finalize our tablet/WP8/Win8 laptop choices. We will be checking out our BB/MS store soon. The MS staff just started yesterday. I have some questions to clarify as mentioned above...
1. Is the Office suite on WP8 just Office 365?
2. Will it benefit more to just get a 365 license for each device vs dl?
3. Does the syncing of games work for all Xbox games or just a select few?
4. Do the gamer pts carry over to your Xbox avatar settings?
5. Is there a Visio editing app for WP8 (for small edits of course)?

I addition MSFT is working to develop the same "look and feel" across all of their products (desktop/laptop(tablet)/phone/xbox/). I'll go a step further to include automobile as well.
LOL Microsoft makes cars? You mean when will an automaker use Windows 8 in their cars. Actually, not a bad idea.When is Microsoft creating a car with the tiles ? Ford sync is great (dont own one but have played with it) but, it's not like WP or Windows 8 or xbox 360....
