First Windows Phone 7 updates are coming!

Found some new info about the Windows Phone updates on Windows Phone Secrets.

I misread the title originally on Gizmodo and thought that IE9 was going to be released in the next update. Turns out that won't be happening any time soon. I was really looking forward for IE9 to be released for it.

So far, the biggest feature is that copy and paste will be activated on the phone. This is one feature should have been on the phone, day 1. It is an absolute joy to use the interface unlike Apple and Android. Its so annoying trying to select a word or worst... put a cursor in the middle of a word! So while its amazing that I can do that on a Windows Phone... its a moot point since I can't copy-paste it.

I really hope that this isn't the only BIG feature in the next update. Thats what I would call a waste of 3 months. Microsoft is 3 years late to the mobile game so they should be updating the phone aggressively! Its bad enough the Android and Apple crowd laugh at us WinPho users now, imagine in another 6 months when our only coup de grace was just copy and paste!
