To paraphrase what many people saying: WP7 shares many of the same problems of the iPhone OS.
Despite Microsoft already being well aware of customer complaints regarding the Apple iPhone, it seems like the developer is forgetting many of the key problems that the device faced in its early years. The most significant similarity of the old iPhone and the upcoming WP7 mobile platform is that both lack cut and paste capabilities.
Cutting text into a clipboard for pasting on other apps is a simply task that people would expect of a smart phone. With WP7 designed to run Pocket Office applications such as Word, having such a crucial function missing is a big drag –though some speculate that internally, within the Office application, the function would still be present.
Anyway, cutting in pasting is one thing, but the lack of multitasking is also a pretty tough thing to lose. The upcoming Apple iPad lacks it and people are not too happy to know that. After all, being able to do more than two things at once is the biggest benefit of multitasking –a lack of which is also one of the reasons why the system lack cutting and pasting in the first place.
Lastly, the devices running the OS will be able to support SD cards. While this is pretty understandable, it does remind of simper days when a phone using the older Windows Mobile OS would have those functions.
These missing functions have already been confirmed, but many are already hoping that with the many months until the release of the OS, Microsoft might still add in these capabilities. In any case, despite having this few flaws, folks are still eagerly anticipating the release of the device.
