The Windows Phone 7 platform has a ton of potential but still feels like a work-in-progress project. To fix features and as well as to add them, Microsoft will release an update sometime in March. Somewhat critical missing features such as copy-paste will also be added to the platform. The platform will also support CDMA, so Microsoft can expand into more markets. Future updates include features such as Internet Explorer 9 and multitasking. WP7 needs more than just copy-paste functionality to impress Microsoft has been in the news for their new partnership with Nokia. With the two giants working together, Microsoft cannot afford to be the weak link. Steve Ballmer showed off the new Windows Phone 7 update along with a demonstration of the Internet Explorer 9 browser on it beating Safari on the Apple iPhone 4. There weren’t too many other things mentioned about the new update. That’s not a good thing considering that the new platform has a long way to go and critics might have quite a few things to say about it. The event even had Nokia CEO Stephen Elop come on stage and mention why the partnership with Microsoft was a move in the right direction. With so little being added and Nokia Windows 7 phones coming soon, we're hoping Microsoft will get its act together in time. |
