Microsoft pushes back cut 'n' paste update

!CutPaste

I guess I will never understand why one of the oldest mobile OS functions is absent in these new "smartphones". I have been critical of Apple because of this and it's only fair to point out how short sighted this makes Microsoft look. After the iPhone was released, everyone knew it didn't have C&P functionality, despite Blackberry having this function for years previous. Why then would MS release a new smartphone OS without this function? And to try and add such an intricate function that has to examine and manipulate bits and bytes on a granular level, after-the-fact, seems a bit counter-productive and will lead to much patch-work and frustration.
