Fair warning to you devs out there.. If you update you can no longer deploy applications to your phone (you need a phone with the update).

so emulator only.

EDIT:
Turns out you can deploy with the new SDK! I do have lockups though on every other deploy... a simple unplug and re-deploy fixes.

hahaha, thats kind of a big issue that you need the new firmware on phone to test your app but i guess that means the update has to be soon for the hardware

From how its looking now, microsoft wants to give a 1 month head start for devs to "update proof" or "feature match" with the update...

So right now im positive no update for phones before feb 16th and im willing to bet that there wont be an update till very close to march if not past that (they want CDMA phones on board). <--- probably going to announce this at MWC.

How to: Test Copy and Paste in Windows Phone Emulator

What’s in the January 2011 Update

The following are included in the Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update:
Copy and Paste

Copy and paste is now enabled on Windows® Phone 7 in the following controls:

*

System.Windows.Controls.TextBox
*

System.Windows.Controls.PasswordBox
*

Text input fields within the Microsoft.Phone.Controls.WebBrowser control.

Developers can test the copy and paste functionality in the new Windows Phone Emulator. For more information, see How to: Test Copy and Paste in Windows Phone Emulator. End users can use the copy and paste functionality only after receiving the corresponding update to the Windows Phone 7 operating system.

Most applications already published to the Windows Phone Marketplace do not need to be recompiled to take advantage of copy and paste functionality. Copy and paste will work automatically for end users after they receive the corresponding update to the operating system.
Caution:

In applications that have pivot or panorama controls that contain text boxes, users can unintentionally change panes when trying to copy text. To prevent this problem, open your application, recompile it, and then resubmit it to the Windows Phone Marketplace.
Windows Phone Capability Detection Tool

Detects the phone capabilities used by your application. When you submit your application to Windows Phone Marketplace, Microsoft performs a code analysis to detect the phone capabilities required by your application and then replaces the list of capabilities in the application manifest with the result of this detection process. This tool performs the same detection process and allows you to test your application using the same list of phone capabilities generated during the certification process. For more information, see How to: Use the Capability Detection Tool.
Windows Phone Connect Tool

Allows you to connect your phone to a PC when Zune® software is not running and debug applications that use media APIs. For more information, see How to: Use the Connect Tool.
Updated Bing Maps Silverlight Control

Includes improvements to gesture performance when using Bing™ Maps Silverlight® Control. For more information, see Bing Maps Silverlight Control for Windows Phone.
What’s in the WPDT Fix

After installing the Windows Phone Developer Tools Fix, application developers can deploy XAP files over 64 MB in size to physical phone devices for testing and debugging.
