Microsoft today told in a Q&A session at MIX10 that Windows Phone 7 Series will not have support for any clipboard activities, a.k.a. copy and paste, functionality built in it. This is a huge feature that is missing from WP7S, since today’s Windows Mobile represent the best OS for Office use, and with copy and paste.
There will be a data-detection service in the text handling API of WP7S, but it will only recognize numbers and addresses.
