Windows Phone 7
I was wondering what you Apple folk think about the upcoming WP7. Pro-Apple rags appear to be pretty stoked about it.

What I took away from these articles is that WP7 v1.0 will suffer the same feature-lag that the first iPhone did (no cut/paste, no multitasking, etc), but that the hubs/tiles metaphor is superior to Apple's apps UI. (Can't lie, it looks pretty sweet.)
An an iPhone owner, I've always hated the fact that our clock screen is so spartan. I'd like the option to have the screen filled with meaningful data (upcoming appointments, number of new txts/emails/vms/etc) so I can get caught up with just a click of the home button.

Only time will tell if people like it, though.
