Lync 2013 LHPv2 supported features

I thought this would be a useful comparison to compare Lync 2013 LHPv2 supported features compared to its predecessor Lync 2010 LHPv1.
The biggest win from a customer standpoint is Lync IP Phones and true VOIP mobility with the Lync 2013 Mobility Apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
