Although it’s still a minor player (and may never be more than that), Windows Phone 8 has some quite distinctive interface features - the way it handles alphabetised lists, for example ([link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOaGO7yBsaE) to video in which this is shown).

And (although some may dislike it) the way apps with more than one page of information to them typically have a scrolling row of text labels at the top, and you just swipe to the next page (shown briefly throughout [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEu4VlmYJy0)video - in particular, about 1:16)

Anyway, what I’m curious to know is whether any developers have released apps for other platforms that contain features distinctively styled after WP8.  
(I know you can get skins for anything to make it look like anything - I’m thinking more of the action of the interfaces themselves)
