No feature exemplifies the unique and powerful approach of Windows Phone like Live Tiles, and in Windows Phone 8, Live Tiles are even more flexible and powerful. In this session, Thomas walks us through all of the new attributes of Live Tiles, and how to take advantage of them in your applications. He'll also walk us through custom notifications, as well as how your application can now become a custom lock screen wallpaper provider.

For more info on Live Tile implementation in Windows Phone, check out the additional following resources:

Live Tiles(official developer documentation)
Live Tiles, discussed in the online WP8 Jump Start videos
Live Tiles session from BUILD 2012, featuring PM Thomas Fennel (recommended!)

These are awesome new features for tiles. I already added these to a couple of my apps. I would like to see that sample code published though, it makes a good demo app for devs.
