Microsoft is expected to open up numerous latest APIs that will allow for superior multi-tasking, in-app downloads and better customization for end consumers. Microsoft is presently compiling beta builds of the update and has shipped some early bits to external beta testers. One tester, who did not want to be named, claimed the update will enthuse developers. “The update includes some great new features for developers, Windows Phone 7 apps in 2011 will certainly become more interesting.”
Microsoft is also working on a foremost renovate of the Windows Phone 7 browser. In a job posting, listed in November, the software maker promises a “major overhaul of standard support and new approaches to make significant advances in performance, power consumption and bandwidth utilization.” It’s possible that part of the refurbish could be seen in the point release in February but most of the significant changes will be reserved for the upcoming Windows Phone 8 update.
Topping the record of traits and changes in the update is much-reported copy and paste functionality which was last week rolled out to select developer devices. Microsoft has repeatedly confirmed that copy and paste will be coming to consumer devices in ”early 2011”.
