I can't comment on iOS since it has been a few years since used it but Android already has great WiFi connectivity to almost anything you can think of, having this feature wouldn't even have brought it on par with Android as far a connectivity goes. As a new user to Windows mobile 8 the are many things I do like but so many basic functions that you expect don't work or they have been implemented in such a half arsed way it makes me want to pull my hair out. A $20 mp3 player has a better music player than my very expensive Nokia 1020
