The newest Windows Phone 7 image for the SDK emulator has just been unlocked and made available for your viewing pleasure. Other than copy and paste there doesn’t seem to be anything new as far as I can see but it you want to take screen shots of the OS this is currently the best solution. But please keep in mind that it is not recommended to use this image if you are developing applications and testing them out on it. Always use the locked image to test your applications. The current OS version is now 7.0.7389 compared to 7.0.7004 for the RTM we all have. Also note that Copy and Paste doesn’t work in the WebBrowser control (you can’t copy normal text displayed in it unlike IE Mobile). Now that’s totally ridiculous and adds another nail on the coffin of the poor control..good job MS (yes it sucks, it’s slow, doesn’t support basic java-script as if it displays everything in IE’s “Mobile Version view” so it doesn’t display ads or embedded Youtube videos and now doesn’t support something as simple as copy and paste). Check out the video after the break:
