Even cooler than having copy and paste? ;-)</p>

Wait and you will see some idiot suing for misleading advertisement: "I watched the commercial and I thought that the phone projected images like a HUD"....

I can just hear the lightning-fast weasel-word voice-over tacked onto the end.
"Windows Phones do not actually have holographic displays. They will not allow they user to fly or see through walls. Anyone who acts as though we are mis-representing this product through imaginative exaggeration is too stupid to own a phone like this."

Watching this I just hope that the PHONE features, like actually making a call, maybe even a video call or a conference call, sending SMS or MMS are not an afterthought or even left out because they were focusing resources on facebook and xbox integration...

I don't want to be negative (even though the news about WP7 this week is not all that positive), but in addition to a disclamer about holographic displays, they shoul really include something like, "you can actually make a phone call with the device too"...

It's a very strong and well-known trend, world-wide, that people are using less and less voice minutes, and more text/data. I might make, five calls a WEEK on my cell phone...but I sent plenty of texts and emails. So of course it makes calls, but if you're wondering why they didn't emphasize that point, well, there's a good reason for it. ;)
