I don't know about multitasking, but they did specifically say that adding cut and paste in the first update was a change in plans in response to feedback, and wasn't on their original schedule. They originally thought the features they intended to replace c&p (it detects things like phone numbers in text and automatically links them to the relevant applet, with the text auto-pasted in) would work better for covering the common cases. cite: "And I wanted to announce today that we've heard feedback from a lot of people who have had our technical preview. There's a feature we're going to bring onto the phones in early 2011, copy and paste. This is a feature that we initially did not put into our development schedule, because we focused instead on things like automatic touching of phone numbers and touching of addresses, but we're hearing from our customers, and we're going to get this feature in, so everyone who buys a Windows Phone this holiday will be able to get an update with copy and paste in early 2011." http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/steve/2010/10-11windowsphone7.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/steve/2010/10-11wind...
