Rumour:Windows Phone 7 Update Bringing Copy/Paste, Multitasking

According to ChevronWP7 developer Chris Walshie Microsoft is updating Windows Phone 7.The update reportedly brings copy/paste functionality, multi-tasking support, and several Bing improvements such as turn-by-turn directions. Rumors suggest users will also be able to add custom ringtones.

Chris Walsh (@ChrisWalshie) describes the WP7 update as “massive,” and says that “MS took 3 months to do what Apple did in 3 years.” He goes on to say that Microsoft “could have called it Windows Phone 8.” This is music to our ears.

Earlier this year following the October launch of the Windows Phone 7 system, Microsoft suggested that the first update for the well received mobile OS would need to be completed with the assistance of a PC rather than the standard over-the-air system hinting towards a hefty overhaul.

Microsoft has yet to confirm a feature list or launch date for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 update, but it is rumored to be on its way as early as January.

    Garbage.  Baktag!!  This story is so old is stopped putrifying a month ago.   The worms are done eating the flesh off it.  Not only is it the combination of two rumors, but neither is accurate.  How can you post garbage like this and update the page so it looks like it’s new information via a date selective search from Google?  I think we need to create a new name for folks like you – Trash Mongers.  You love posting trash just so the advertisers get a few extra chances at dinging people.  Well, I think the internet should start a new movement… don’t use anything from the pages of a Trash Monger.  The internet needs to get cleaned up.  Post accurate info and delete the old stuff or we stop using you altogether.
