One of the greatest omissions in the history of computing. They might has well left out the comma key. Maybe when they port over the freaking todo list from iCal into the iPhone they'll get cut/copy/paste working too. My iPhone is a technological wonder. It plays HD movies, takes pictures, surfs the internet, balances my checkbook and even plays vintage Iron Maiden while I'm working out at the gym. But I can't copy and paste though.

The application is called MagicPad (http://magicpad.proximi.com/). Here is more info on the company: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/proximi So really this is not an example of a system-wide function but of one company developing it for one specific application. Although I think copy/paste will be included in the near future, especially if Apple wants the iPhone/iPod Touch to be relevant in the Enterprise market.

I couldn't believe that feature was missing, I found it quite limiting. I've been wondering if Apple is still undecided on the way it wants to implement selecting text. Maybe there's a more "elegant" way they're trying to get to work but are still not happy with. Who knows, but if they've got major ambitions for their multi-touch technology, then selecting things on the screen and other mouse-like actions are not minor issues.
