Copy/Paste is bad for users?! Have you ever surfed a web page and wanted to put some part of the text into an email/text messages/other webpage? Or tried to send part of someone's contact details by SMS without sending the whole vcard? Or copied part of a note to your calendar or to do list? I do this all the time with my Nokia E61. A friend of mine that just got the iphone 3g and raved about the interface almost had me convinced to buy one. BTW I used one last year and was wowed by the interface and user experience. I think the iphone is a great device but unfortunately it is still in beta. By next year or another two years, I think they'll get it right by which time folks would have gone through another three releases and paid three times what they should have paid had they been patient enough to wait for a complete device! @ Ish: “Copy/Paste is a hack and in the long-run is bad for users.” Copy/Paste is bad for users?!

You have limited keys (in the case of the iPhone limited gestures). You have limited screen real estate. In terms of usage when you are using your phone what you do is very much about getting a specific task done in a short period of time, sometimes while on the go. Multi-tasking is great when you have a full mouse and keyboard as well as huge screen. With a mobile phone I think multitasking is difficult and instead the focus should be placed on integration between various applications rather than leaving it up to the user to "integrate" through copy/paste. I would rather see more integration between apps through the url calls, for example. Examples of this already on the iPhone: When I click within certain applications on a specific geographic address it brings up the Google Maps application with pin to the location. No need for copy/paste. When a youtube video shows up in my email on my iPhone or on a webpage I click on it and it shows up in the youtube app. No copy/paste. On many of the iphone apps I click on Share and it automatically takes me to the email application with the text and contact info filled in. No copy/paste. These interactions are more smooth and less cumbersome than copying some text, closing an application, and pasting it into another application. Any application can register to handle urls and applications can talk to each other this way using the SDK. Apple has given us developers a solution -- we should make use of it. Copy/Paste is a hack and in the long-run is bad for users. @Josh and @zealeus -
