Rumors about the absence of Windows Phone 7 copy and paste, perhaps a little exaggerated. Browser Microsoft Lun Zheng (Long Zheng), visit the conference MIX10, wrote that at the beginning of WP7 this function was, but Microsoft was temporarily removed in time to release the OS to the end of the year. But shortly after the release will update that will return to the system clipboard operations.

This information contradicts statements made by the very few Microsoft, whose representatives at the conference argued that users actually do not really need the functions of the clipboard. On the other hand, it may simply be an excuse for the lack of these operations in the initial stage and then in Microsoft suddenly "change their minds and returned them.

In Windows Mobile clipboard operations have always been, and they are quite important for business users. Microsoft made a bad mistake if they ignore this category of buyers. The emergence of copy and paste on the iPhone has considerably improved the adoption of this phone in the business segment.

Yesterday, we cited statistics Flurry Analytics Sales Nexus One. This research firm has estimated that during the first 74 days of sales were sold 135 thousand smartphones – a figure in all respects, a small, particularly compared to its closest competitors Droid and iPhone. Journalists Engadget had the opportunity to talk with representatives of most Google, and it turns out, the company that the statistics are quite satisfied.

As Google said that the sale of a large number of smart phones is not an end in itself. Success itself Android platform companies are interested in more. This kind of war of attrition, long and slow, but inexorably leading to victory.

Internet giant, even issued a statement on this subject: "We are pleased with our sales and the way our customers have Nexus One. Nexus One – is one of the large and rapidly growing number of phones on Android, sold through an open ecosystem of Android. Our partners are shipping daily over 60 thousand phones at Android, while a further three months ago that number was 30 thousand. "

Here is a philosophical attitude, which can be viewed as an attempt to save face in front of the figures clearly faded, and it is possible, and as a statement that Google simply does not make a serious bid for Nexus One, preferring to engage in the promotion of Android platform as a whole.
