You know what, I'm getting annoyed with comments like this. COPY AND PASTE is SO FREAKING BASIC, it should have been in the iPhone since the beginning. Perhaps, C&P doesn't fit in YOUR lifestyle in a phone (or smartphone). Fine, then don't use it. However, for MANY of us it is absolutely indispensable.
I'll give you something related to C&P: editing documents. Many of the same people who complain (like you) about people like me (and other peeps asking for C&P) are the same people who are wondering: why aren't there enough apps for document editing like keynote/powerpoint, pages/word, etc.? Why? BECAUSE THERE'S NO C&P.
How about something basic? How about e-mailing your friend and sending them contact info? Guess what, w/o C&P (or some sort of contact transfer system), you have to manually do this by hand. If you depend on giving away your contact info for business purposes, this can be a big pain in the butt that can be EASILY solves with either C&P or contact transfer system.
These are just some BASIC things. The fact that there isn't C&P in the iPhone imho simply inexcusable.

But this thread has nothing do do with any of that. While we do veer off the central theme, it's usually taken in steps. Throwing in a pet peeve that has nothing at all to do with the thread, esp. when it's something people are always throwing into unrealated threads does become annoying to most readers.

Well, in that aspect, I did perpetuate it. So to everyone, I definitely apologize. However, when I saw that comment I did feel compelled to reply, ESPECIALLY when it's something as basic as C&P. ANYWAY...
In terms of the topic at hand, I do think this patent is a wonderful idea, but I can only see it working if Apple makes it an open standard (much like their recent mini-display port). This is something that everyone would need to participate in, if you catch my meaning.
I may appear to be stupid, but: what can you do with only "cut and copy", if ya can't paste it somewhere. Why don't you just backspace or delete? Or was remark meant to be sarcasm? Sorry then that it flew over my lil' head(!)
I saw it once somewhere (i think xkcd.com):
Impossible mission:
- Post a comment in an internet forum that is so absurd that people will know you are not serious...
