Microsoft has released to developers its latest update to the Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system giving the added functionality of being able to cut and paste.

In other news, developers have already hacked the said latest release, according to a post on XDA Developers.

Meanwhile, the said release is expected to be released publicly by the end of February, various reports say.

In a blog post on the official Microsoft blog, the company said:

“Soon you’ll be able to copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents, and paste it anywhere you can type.

Using copy and paste is easy and intuitive. In many cases you just tap a word, slide your finger to highlight any additional text, then tap the Copy icon. To insert this text in a message or app, just tap the spot where it should go, then tap the Paste icon.”

The new update will also include performance upgrades to the platform which enable it to launch applications and games faster.

    I wish they include the following in the new update:
    1- Arabic language support with RTL
    2- I wish they make 3 columns of tiles instead of 2 in the home screen, it will surely look amassing.
