According to MacRumors, the new software for the iPhone, version 2.1 could have copy and paste functionality. I can almost certainly tell you it will not. Why? Well, they would have published specs for how this copy and paste was going to work in the UI so developers could update their software to play nice with the clipboard.
Secondly, the string they found in the 2.1 software for using copy and paste is the same string used in Leopard’s webkit as well. Let’s get with the program guys and not get everyones hopes up. Thank you.
