- I think that they are waiting for a solution from third party manufacturers. I mean you cannot have a word processing program without cut and paste. I'm sure there are developers working on it as we speak. This is the way apple is approaching a lot of their software problems. Do it the google way. Open source and "borrow" peoples ideas. Cheaper more efficient.07-07-2008 02:26 AMLike 0
- C'mon, guys. Cut'n'paste is why I have been waiting for 3rd party apps. Cut'n'paste is the difference between a phone and a computer. Even if Apple cannot figure out how to do this, ten thousand independent developers can. I expect three or four competing 3rd party cut'n'pastes on the first day the iProgram store is open.
Incidentally, I am concerned that will not happen this week. While this is really a bigger event than the 3G, there is no hype. 2.0, the store, then 3G.07-07-2008 08:51 AMLike 0 - I would disagree - cut & paste is even more important on a phone. I don't want to type the great American novel on my phone, I want to make quick replies, short edits, clip "stuff" for inclusion in an email. All require SYSTEM WIDE cut & paste, not just Docs to Go or PocketInformant putting it in there product.07-07-2008 10:17 AMLike 0
- i don't think that apple would allow ten different ways to do something on their product (by different developers) they're all about uniformity07-07-2008 12:29 PMLike 0
- I agree. In fact, it could be really interesting to watch what happens with this feature when programs like that do start coming out. Will Apple hurry up to get c&p on the iPhone before they approve any programs that want to use it, then make everyone use that API, or will they let 10 different ways to do c&p pop up, then choose one and make everyone conform?07-07-2008 03:01 PMLike 0

IMO, Apple definitely has the technical resource to implement copy and paste on the iPhone. Why they are not doing it is anyone's guess. I suspect its another one of those "it's a Steve thing".Last edited by GaryUSC; 07-07-2008 at 03:38 PM.
