the main difference between 7 and 8 is the new support for tablets - by adding support for ARM-based processors and by adding a new touch-operated interface.

when in 2012 will phone8 be released – in the beginning or ending of the year?

would phone7.1 devices be eligible for an upgrade to 8 (even if it would cost money)?

Definitely a positive boost for the tablet technology in general.

And hopefully Apple (especially) and Google will realize this soon: The TABLET is the successor of the NETBOOK not the Mobile Phone.
