This copy and paste still looks crippled
brock_b@... 4th Aug 2008
In the video, the user doesn't select a subset of the text to copy; it appears that he just copies the entire page. And in pasting, he doesn't select an insertion point in other preexisting text; he pastes it into a blank page. So has anyone seen any evidence that the iPhone can do REAL copy and paste yet?
