“Apple may intend implementing copy and paste within the iPhone, reports claim,” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK.
“It emerged last week that Apple is testing iPhone Software 2.1, an update to the software for the device (and the iPod touch) which is expected to introduce stability and feature improvements… Reports claim the software also indicates support for cut, copy and paste operations,” Evans reports.
“We’ve no word yet on when iPhone Software 2.1 is expected to ship,” Evans reports.

Come on MacDailyNews… where’s your lengthy analysis on how this is going to drive up Apple’s stock prices and change the face of computing….
I like how this person visualized the Copy and Paste concept. If Apple can make it this intuitive and easy, then consider it a success.

This rumor concerning copy/paste has already been discredited. The webkit functions are carried over from the Leopard version. Looking forward to the Core Locations improvements though. Turn by turn GPS? (fingers crossed)
Copy and Paste will be a welcome addition. How else are we to get information between apps and email?
Obviously, this is going to drive up Apple’s stock prices and change the face of computing….
Thank goodness. How about some extended Mac connectivity and video playing ability?
Well, if the rumor has been discredited, that’s too bad. Perhaps Apple will notice that this is a big enough issue to excite the rumor mill all on it’s own.
This is not going to happen, these strings were in the Leopard webkit as well. I want copy and paste as much as the next guy, but not going to happen yet.
Eh, OLD NEWS
This was reported LAST WEEK
MDN, lost its edge as the source for everything mac, now just a rant rag.
j. s. g. Turn by turn GPS? (fingers crossed).
How is that for the past 5 years nobody knows where they are, or where they’re going?
Yeah, right. We’ll be lucky to see copy & paste by the fourth generation iPhone. Not to mention a universal landscape keyboard.
Steve Jobs probably thinks it would be too much for our fragile little minds. That’s why he’s keeping the number of multi-touch gestures dumbed down when we could be doing a hell of a lot more even on a 3.5″ screen.
Daddy Jobs always knows what’s best for us.
Joe,
There’s nothing going on. Ya gotta take what you can get.
I want the ability to draw a simple graphic on the iPhone.
I’d like the use as a disk mode more than copy and paste, but both would be nice.
How about select and push pictures from any app.
If Yahoo’s finance section can do stocks real-time, then why is Apples stock widget 15 minutes behind…it’s great, but in 15 minutes, alot can happen…it’s simply not accurate enough to be any good.
The landscape mode keyboard in Safari looks squeezed, but proves that it can work…just needs tweaks and application systemwide.
don’t be a dick.
I’m sure Apple will introduce all these features discussed above when they are good and ready. The mobileme issues highlight that Apple have to be careful about introducing new features so that work properly from the get go.
It’s not as if Apple are losing ground to other competitors. iPod innovations were added over time as the technology improved and managed to keep Apple ahead of the competition. The great thing about the iPhone is that most of the improvements are going to be software based so early adopters won’t be completely left behind.
I wish MDN had a policy against publishing rumors, or at least devoted a separate page to rumors. Such a waste! Rumors ≠ News.
Blue Dream, try FileMagnet for Disk Storage, very cool!!!
Mac only, but you only use a Mac, right?

Yeah, right! Steve Jobs, who consistently gives us amazing devices that no one else has even imagined, now wants to dumb everything down. Moron!
