A lot of Windows Phone 7 users now have a copy paste of & update, but the distribution is still plodding and some people are still having problems. This week we will see the latest news about the demo video of how to copy and paste function and increase in speed. I notice also rumours of a throw of 15 April for the Verizon HTC trophy and some new versions of the software.

Windows phone 7 Demo Update

PocketNow has put together a couple videos showing an updated Windows Phone 7 in action. This first video shows the function to copy/paste and how you can use to paste multiple times. And this second video shows a comparison of speed between phones LG Optimus 7, one with and one without upgrade. The difference seems to be quite significant.

Of course, some impatient hackers have figured out how to get Windows 7 upgrade phone without waiting and without jailbreaking their device.

At a Conference for developers last week, Microsoft began to disclose the details of a major update to Windows Phone 7 codename for Mango, which is expected this year. This week we'll look at some of these details, as well as the news that Skype is coming to Windows phone.

Microsoft's market share declined last fall

The verdict is still out whether Microsoft will be a player in the mobile arena. Motley Fool posted an article saying that the rollout of Windows phone 7 last year was largely a nonevent.

The number of people who use Microsoft based phones (Windows Mobile and Windows Phone) is reduced by last fall as the new Windows phone 7 is now available. Digits: 5.9 million in October, 5.5 million in November and $ 5.3 million in December.

Mango update coming this year — 7 great features

Microsoft still has deep pockets, and nothing to lose. And last week's event for developers showed that Microsoft is intent on providing a great user experience on mobile devices.

While the event was focused on the introduction of new technologies that developers can include in their applications, it also gave consumers a taste of some of the exciting things to come when the software was released this year (or maybe even at the beginning of the next annoper some).

Engadet has published a video explaining the new features who are coming. PocketNow has a post titled seven major new features of Mango for Windows Phone 7 pointing to the videos and conveniently summarizes the main points. (Also, be sure to check out the discussion extended to PocketNow.)

Features include animated Live tiles, custom ring tones, performance improvements, improvements that include background browser streaming and ramped-up performance, market research results improved considerably and more.

Ben. geek and PocketNow have posts that talk about additional functionality, including multitasking software features that will allow augmented reality, XNA/Silverlight integration and more.

Augmented reality is pretty cool: it displays a live image on the screen through the camera, and that the image overlap information relevant to the context.

Internet Explorer 9 coming in Mango

One of the most anticipated features of Mango will Internet Explorer 9, which will be more robust, with new features and much more. A demo IE9 at last week's event shows that access to the Internet via Windows phone with Mango will be much faster than iPhone and Android devices.

Demo of new features

Also last week, Microsoft exec Joe Belfiore demoed some of the new features of Windows Phone that can be expected. Some of the features he shows in the video include multitasking, live agents, a cool demo of Layar app that offers augmented reality, and more.

Speaking of multitasking WMPoweruser , explains how Microsoft is to avoid the performance problems that plagued Windows Mobile forcing the ways in which developers can implement it in Mango. This will increase the stability, speed and battery life.

Missing features in Mango

Despite the excitement over Mango, PocketNow lists some features that are missing, however, recognizing that Microsoft may still announce them.

Skype coming to Windows phone

In addition to the excitement surrounding Mango last week, Engadget posted the welcome news that Microsoft and Skype are working on a version of the software for Windows phone. It's a good sign that Skype has reversed their position after earlier saying it had no plans to bring to this platform.

Microsoft finally began releasing the latest update for AT&T Windows phones last week that included features that are new and undocumented. It also reduced the upload speed on Samsung's focus, with various blog posting a correction. And this week I'll still recommend the latest app roundup of PocketNow.

Microsoft and Nokia finalize agreement

Last week Microsoft and Nokia ad released that they had finally signed on the dotted line — 10 weeks after first announced their intention to form a partnership. Also reported last week, was the news that Nokia's market share fell below 30% for the first time in over a decade, so it is clear that this partnership is crucial to the future success of Nokia.

Update begins to roll out at&T WP7

Also last week Microsoft began rolling out the latest update of Windows Phone phones AT&T. and for those who were impatient and jumped the gun through the incision of ChevronWP7, , which Microsoft said last week that those phones updated Chevron never would be able to install an update. Uh oh. I wish I hadn't emphasized this hack in a previous column.

While the upgrade was welcome news for users of AT&T waiting to get the speed bump, market research and copy/paste, apparently some Samsung owners find that Focus had been reduced to their upload speed. You can find a fix on Windows Phone thoughts.

Unique features for AT&T and undocumented features

Update AT&T for Windows phones has two additional features: data connection 1) of the phone automatically switches to Wi-Fi if you enter the vicinity of a hotspot Wi-Fi and 2) the ability to sync with address book on-line a AT&T.

(Talking about AT&T, please note that now you're selling MicroSD cards approved by Microsoft. Learn more Engadgeton).

Additionally, users on a variety of devices are finding some undocumented features. One is a new setting that allows you to set an image from a network image of the album as social Contact. TheNextWeb has a list of features.

Details about the perfect Multitasking

One of the important features of Mango WP7 scheduled for update this year is multitasking. Everyone is looking forward to that, but note that multitasking is typically implemented differently on most phones on the desktop computer, to save memory and battery life. You can read more PocketNow on about how it will work on Windows Phone 7, and how this compares to the iPhone and Android.
