    Default One feature the iPhone doesn't have


    Has anyone yet run a story about Android's ability to do cut & paste? Unless the most recent update changed the iPhone, I thought that was a sore spot among iPhone users. It lacks a simple cut & paste.

    But, if you check out the first video on the Android homepage you'll see a very convenient cut & paste. If I'm not way off in my iPhone knowledge, maybe someone should run a quick story about this feature.

    Yea bummer they left it out. But developers have managed to create a few apps that fix the issue.

    Apple suits have pulled those capabilities. There remains no copy paste on the iPhone and Apple squashes any attempt to remedy that.

    I mean in other ways. Chances are they will approve it for a few days then pull it ha ha. Just jailbreak your phone (thats what it is there for) and a whole new world of capabilities is opened.

    Yeah, make this a front page story. What a simple, but beautiful example of the differences between the proprietary nature of Apple and the openess of Google. This speaks to people that don't even think about these things.

    This article pointed out google didn't make it a big deal that Android had two fairly big things that the iPhone doesn't: copy&paste and also true multitasking. However, I don't think Google is particularly aiming to challenge the iPhone, even though everyone wants to think that way (esp many articles online). That may be T-mobile's goal for the G1, but not Google. Google just wants more people to use the mobile web, having a phone that can beat or "kill" the iPhone is irrelavant to them because they are giving away the OS for free anyways and they don't get direct money from the phones. They just need the phones to be good enough so that Android can reach customers.

    But on the issue of the iPhone, I don't get why they are holding such a hard stance on copy&paste. Is it security? I don't know. Seems like something that should be fairly easy to accomplish by Apple if they wanted it on the phone.
