There has been a lot of good hype about Windows’ latest device the Windows Phone 7. I was actually starting to get impressed as Windows doesn’t do much to impress me anymore. That was until I found out the phone won’t be supporting tethering, multitasking or any other network but AT&T. The phone won’t be supporting CDMA networks like Sprint and Verizon until early 2011. Here Windows goes making the same mistakes Apple made with the iPhone.

Apple just enabled multitasking on the iPhone with iOS 4 and started supporting tethering for it earlier this year which (for now) gives it an edge over the Windows Phone 7. Some sites are calling it the iPhone killer already but we’ll have to see as it hasn’t even been released yet. Release is set for sometime in October.

I am pretty bummed it won’t be supporting tethering. I don’t believe any phone released at this point in technology should come without tethering capabilities. This is 2010!

For now, here is the official video that showcases the Windows Phone 7′s features:
