While Microsoft gears up to officially release Windows Phone 8 next month, the final build of the upcoming operating system has reportedly been leaked, and there's video evidence that supports it. A new video, which WP Central managed to get their hands on, shows an emulator with what is said to be the final build of WP8. The video is a walkthrough of WP8's new features, which include ones that Microsoft hasn't even announced. There will be a Google Wallet-competitor in WP8 simply called "Wallet," and there will also be a "Kids Corner" feature for the ever-cautious parents.
