Just in case you didn’t follow my tweets today I just wanted to remind everybody that Microsoft has officially announced that the much need and wanted Copy / Paste feature will be added to Windows Phone 7 in approximately 3 months when the next OS update is pushed out. Happy now ? Apparently this wasn’t talked about during the US event but it was definitely repeated several times here in Paris that the next update will include copy and paste. I personally find it amazing that Microsoft reacted in such a fast manner after all the bad press it got back in March when it was discovered that one of the most common feature found on a smartphone was missing from Windows Phone 7.
