If you are lucky enough to own a Windows Phone 7 smartphone you may already know that the copy and paste feature that was promised with the operating system was not going to be coming until some time next year. It seems however, that now you can be expecting the feature to be coming to devices using the OS a little a earlier than originally thought.
Microsoft’s Director of Microsoft Project, Apran Shah put in a blog post:
Critics have commented on the lack of specific features like copy & paste and lack of 100s of thousands of applications. And while both are true, copy & paste will be available as an update in a matter of weeks (early 2011) and as for applications, it's just a matter of time.
Although the term ‘a matter of weeks’ is pretty vague, the fact that it’s still around 8 weeks before we hit the new year, we will likely be seeing the feature come around in January time. So maybe we’ll stop hearing all these critical views on one missing feature from the OS from an otherwise praised product from Microsoft. Along with this 2011 update, there is also rumour circulating of task-manager/hub mutlti-tasking, turn-by-turn directions, and clipboard and Skydrive/OWA support features just to make it feel like less of a patch of a problem, and something new.
