This weekend was the 2nd annual iPhoneDevCamp held, mostly, in San Francisco. iPhoneDevCamp is a 3 day event where iPhone/iPod touch developers get together to learn and develop with other developers and this year seems to have churned out one of the most highly requested features for the iPhone and iPod touch.
Andrew Mager posted a video that shows Copy and Paste in use on the iPhone.
The video does not give many details on it but it seems, at this point, that the copy functionality basically copies all the text of a document/webpage/etc and then allows you to paste it in an input area. The video does not showcase any sort of “Select” functionality (such as selecting partial text) but regardless this would be a much welcomed addition to the iPhone/iPod touch.
John Gruber makes a great point in that Apple most likely will add a copy/paste feature but just hasn’t gotten to it yet. You can’t have everything all at once or you’d never get the product launched.
