Balmer Promises Windows Phone 7 Cut-and-Paste Soon
The Register: Long sort after feature headed to Microsoft's mobile device OS with a major platform upgrade in a month or two.
"The news was tucked away in the middle of Steve Ballmer's CES keynote, between lengthy tales of how impressed everyone is with Windows Phone 7 and a recap of the best features just in case anyone had missed them. The update will load applications faster, which means faster task switching, and add copy and paste functionality, and should be pushed out direct to customers who won't have to wait for operator variants."
"That's in contrast to Android users, who regularly have to wait months for their network operator to create a variant build of each new release (something the operator has no financial incentive to do)."
