Copy/Paste for the iPhone

The biggest missing functionality of the iPhone is the ability to copy and paste. From day one this was a glaring omission. The video below was created as a proof of concept of how copy and paste could work but unfortunately Apple has not responded:

Pastebud has been trying to create copy/paste in a unique way using a javascript via a web app. They have finally been able to get cross application copy and paste for Safari and Mail. See demo below:

This seems like a great work around but still a bit funky and it sucks that it only works for Safari and Mail. I am not sure if this works if you need to copy from e-mail to paste to another e-mail.

I hope now that the blackberry storm is out with copy/paste Apple will add this functionality in the next firmware update. This missing function will get the iPhone closer to perfection.
