They did bring Cliplets[1] and eventually the Cinemagraph app for Windows Phones[2], but neither of those have any intelligence to them.
The only benefit they provide over a video editor is that you can paint a mask to specify the area of the video to loop. The loops still turn out jumpy, unless you do all the manual work, as mentioned in the article itself.
