Everyone's talking about what an iOS can do and an Android can do...here is a thread where we write about something that only a Windows Phone can do and others can't...
Lets start with FB and Twitter's integration.
I don't think any other OS has this...

They "have" it but it's not individualized on other platforms. I can make individual or group tiles with contacts to see their feeds only whereas on android or ios, you can go to someone's contact info and see their activity, but it's an inconvenience to have to to each contact you follow closely

Built in on demand streaming of music, there are several but I'll just name one.

With WP the lock screen music controls work with third party music apps such as slacker and iheartradio. This is something I really with my android could do.

This will be rather short list.
Anyway.. :
WP organises all apps by alphabet. This makes browsing very easy and efficient.
Allthough I think it should also have some kind of file explorer to keep track of files and folders. But this is a feature only WP has, so it can be added to this list.

How can we forget , the lovely Zune music player. Amazing backgrounds of the artists playing.
Though, I might add two things here.
1. Now with an application called Ubermusic u can achieve the same thing on Android devices.
2. Zune usually got my artists wrong. I've complained on MS forums several times about this, to no avail.
Nonetheless its a kick *** feature.

25GB/7GB of cloud storage FREE for photos, videos, docs. In future for backups, games and apps. Who needs a SD card? :)
App-link!
My photos app can talk to my integrated Facebook and Twitter and bring those pics right inside my photos app.
My music app can talk my lyrics app and can get me lyrics for the song I love right from inside my app.
My Office app can talk to my SkyDrive and bring me my documents from the cloud when I want them.
My picture hub can also talk to my photo editing apps like fhotoroom and thumba photo editor to let me edit pics without having to close my pictures hub.
Dedicated camera button that launches my camera even without unlocking my phone! - and that gets upload straight away to Skydrive without me even having to worry about it. - 08-20-2012, 10:40 AM #15

I love the fact that when I yank my headphones out it auto-pauses the music. :D

I also have a sound enhancer on my HD7 so the equalizer point is moot. It's better because it can auto generate playlists combining library songs with market songs. Some of these songs could be ones you hadn't heard in awhile and you can even download the songs while they're streaming.

im not sure if android can do this, but i love being able to hold down the camera button to start taking photos, don't do what i do but some times i use it while driving to take a picture of something interesting or the person beside me lol (i know... its bad and dangerous, just giving a use case, i don't do it often, promise)
