Commercial break - introducing 2 Phone Pong
2 Phone Pong is a Windows Phone 8 implementation of the age-old classic arcade game “Pong”, arguably the grand-grand-grandfather of all computer games. It was the very first game developed by Atari in 1972 – so it was already a classic when I entered high school. But 2 Phone Pong is different in the sense that you play it over two phones. You connect via tap+send, and then you play each on your own phone. How that works, is displayed in the video below. To the left, a Lumia 820. To the right, a Lumia 920 (and a Lumia 1020 on top, doing the actual video capture):

Thanks to the my fleet of beta testers, which included a few members of the Windows Phone team itself, but most of all Mark Monster and fellow Windows Phone MVP Josué Yeray Julián Ferreiro for a boatload of useful feedback
