Now it is official. Today at 0:46 I got the mail that the update for the developer tools are online and aviable for download now. The Update includes an newer image of the WP7 Emulator and also the “Copy & Paste” functionality for the Windows Phone 7. This means, that the customer Update will come soon in one week or a bit later.

Copy&Paste for the Tebox

The “Copy & Paste” will be only available for the Textbox control. And this means that most apps support this automatically when the customer update is deployed. However, Microsoft says that some apps should be recompiled and updated by the developers, because there could be some problems with the Pivot and Panorama controls.

But this is not the complete truth. “Copy & Paste” can also be used for the PasswordBox and the WebBrowser Control.
