    Pathetic that this problem even needs such a work around. Apple, I give you until the end of my 2-year contract (June) to fix this and to fix the lack of MMS. This situation is indefensible.

    @bandit: They could easily integrate MMS and email a lot more effectively than they do now. Then again, so could AT&T if they wanted to. There are lots of ways to tackle that problem. But, that's another solution for another day.

    I guess it really is that hard to put cut-and-paste on an iPhone.

    Does the copy/paste have to go through a server or anything to happen? Seems like too many steps. We need it native in the iPhone OS itself!!!

    @Faslane66: This goes through a server, so that the developer can try to get $5. Either that or the developer hasn't examined the possibility of using a local database for use as a clipboard. (which of course negates the ability to charge $5.) Or, for the paranoid, he wants to collect what you're copying.


    I'll probably make a local only version when I return from vacation. This really is somewhat of a trivial webapp to write.

    yet another reason why apple should come out with their own copy & paste system.

    How about the fact that the new touch Blackberry is advertising it as a prime feature?
