Though Mossberg tends to write positive reviews of Apple stuff, I don't think this one comes off as having been written by an Apple fanboi.

The context of his complaint was that it's a disadvantage for Windows Phone 7 since today's competing finger-friendly-tablet-app-phones already have it. He didn't dwell on it or say it ruins the phone experience. He also mentioned that Microsoft "is already working on a copy and paste system, and said it is coming early next year". Lastly, a long time ago Mossberg did complain that Apple was late introducing it (meaning that he thinks they should've had it sooner than they did rather than missing a deadline).

That makes it sound like Mossberg was specifically singling out MobileMe incompatibility, when he really pointed out other missing calendar features in the same sentence (Yahoo syncing, week view).

Mossberg never claimed this is a widespread or significant problem and he even mentioned that Microsoft is working on a fix. No biggie.
