It never felt good about the fact that we were not able to copy and paste text on iphone which in my opinion pretty much sucked. The iPhone is a state-of-the-art device that should allow anyone to integrate their digital life and their normal life, but you can’t cut and paste text on it. Whoever left that feature out of the iPhone should be fired from Apple. Over at Openclip.org, some wise developer has made an application that will allow you to cut and paste text from the iPhone’s many applications. OpenClip is not an application. It is something that will allow you to cut and paste text from one application to the other. Application developers should look into this to decide whether or not they want to integrate OpenClip to their app. Cut and paste is something that should be on the iPhone, and until Apple doesn’t do something about it, it’s up to developers to fix that bug. If you want to know what apps support this great feature, you’ll find a list of them on the site. Apps that use OpenClip will no longer be able to copy and paste between applications. However, applications can still utilize a persistent way to store data inside the application, meaning that copy and paste within the app will still work fine. And on top of that, apps that utilize only one form (either copy or paste) can disable interface elements when Apple axes OpenClip.
Not only that OpenClip is a non-profit, open-source, community-effort project, which promotes a framework for the iPhone that allows users to copy and paste between participating applications
