Microsoft updates Windows Phone 7 developer tools

Microsoft has been busy with Windows Phone 7 developer tools, and just few days ago (on Friday, in fact) the company released an update to the current tooling. Titled the January update (despite the fact that it became available in February), it contains the latest OS emulator image with the newest set of features. To download the latest kit, visit the download page.

Almost everybody familiar with the Windows Phone 7 seems to talk about copy-paste and its absence from the current operating system version. Microsoft has however promised that this feature will be part of the next update. The interesting thing is that the developer tools already contain this feature, so you can try it out in the emulator. The basic workings of the clipboard are simple, see this MSDN document for instructions.
