No copy and paste on Windows Phone 7 Series

No, I am not joking. Yesterday at MIX 10 in a Q&A session Microsoft said that clipboard operations would not be supported in '7'.
Further to that, the guys at Engadget confirmed this with Microsoft and they said that copy & paste would definitely not be present.
There is a data-detection service built into the text-handling API that will recognize phone numbers and addresses, but Microsoft says most users, including Office users, don't really need clipboard functionality.
I have never heard anything so stupid in all my life. I have used Windows Mobile for years, and now a BlackBerry, and I use copy/paste every single day. Not having this feature will affect a lot of professional people in my opinion. I know the iPhone didn't have this originally but it also was one of the main things that iPhone customers wanted on there phones.
What's next? A Smartphone that doesn't make phone calls?!

We've spoken quite a bit about the Palm Pre here on the site. In general terms we love the operating system on the device, WebOS, but felt is was rather let down by lack-lustre hardware.
In the US Palm have had the Pre Plus on sale for quite some time along with the Pre's little brother, the Pixi Plus.
Another anonymous tip was sent to me last night through our contact page on site, the sender says that O2 will be getting the Pre and Pixi Plus in the UK very soon. It'll be interesting to see if the Pre Plus addresses any of our concerns over the quality of the original Pre's hardware!
I've included the full message from our tipster below.

I think I have probably mentioned that I have been selected by Sony Ericsson to take part in their Xperia X10 research programme. As such I should be getting my hands on the X10 over the next few weeks, something that I am looking forward to playing with for sure! Last night I has an email from a friend over at Orange letting me know that the Xperia X10 was now one of their 'coming soon' handsets and can now be seen on the Orange website....

It wasn't long ago that I posted saying that the HTC Tattoo would be eligible for an Android update. Well, I am sorry to say it's not going to happen! When we originally heard the news I presumed I must have emailed HTC to confirm what we had seen on other sites and I have just had a response and it said what I didn't want to hear. "Currently there are no plans to update the HTC Tattoo with éclair." So there you go. Whether we will see them...

It's not only mobile stuff that Microsoft have been talking about at MIX 10. Today saw Microsoft release an early "platform preview" version of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) which I'm sure all of you will use at some point, baring in mind if you are reading this I'm pretty sure you have a computer, even if you are on your mobile right now....

New devices are something that we all are interested to see when it comes to Windows Phone 7 Series. We have seen so far a prototype, an LG Slider and now a new shiny Samsung slate. While doing a '7' demo at MIX Microsoft's Joe Belfiore produced the Samsung, which has not been seen before. Although the specs has not been announced just yet it will have to meet the minimum specs so will have at least a 256MB of RAM and 8GB of flash and those all...

We have been sent a link to mobilementalism.com where they have alleged to have leaked pictures of the forthcoming HTC HD3. As most of you know, here at tracyandmatt we tend not to believe this type of thing until we have heard it from one of our regular sources. I am not going to say this is the HD3 but the reason I have chosen to post this is what if HTCs forthcoming Windows Phone 7 Series device is just like this. It would be awesome. Chances...

If you are not aware then let me tell you that Microsoft launched there MIX event in the United States yesterday. The event, lasting three days is pretty much an insight into Windows Phone 7 Series covering all the things that Microsoft could or would not tell us at Mobile World Congress. As we are not at the event the amount that we can cover is very limited. We will bring you what news we can, however we will try and focus on any device news...
