Turn-by-Turn navigation and more to be added to Windows Phone 7 with January update?

A series of  tweets sent out yesterday by MS_nerd passed along the news that in addition to adding "cut and paste" to Windows Phone 7, a January upgrade for the new OS will include adding spoken turn-by-turn navigation and improved integration with Microsoft's Skydrive cloud storage.

The upgrade is not expected to improve the software's ability to multitask, which is limited to hubs. There is speculation that users will be able to swap between apps and even return to a program in the same state it was at before the switch to a different app.

Microsoft has said that it considers the first release of Windows Phone 7 to be a 1.0 version and plans to add features quickly in the early days after the OS is launched.
