And, while it may not be as big a deal as multi-core processor support (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/windows-phone-8-to-support-multi-core-cpus-hd-resolutions/), a new Start screen (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/windows-phone-8-introduces-new-start-screen/), or turn-by-turn navigation (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/windows-phone-8-to-use-nokia-map-data-with-built-in-turn-by-turn/), Microsoft just told of two more apps that'll be popping up in the Marketplace soon. That's right, a duo of Zynga's most popular titles, Words with Friends and Draw Something, are coming to Windows Phone. Congratulations, all you Microsoft mobile aficionados, your time-wasting can now reach levels previously seen only by your iOS and Android-toting friends.
