Uh, Hello? Cut-and-Paste!?!

November 21. That’s the day iPhone 2.2 is rumored to arrive at market. And when, or if, it does, it’s expected to include some slick new features. Among them:
- Enhancements to Google Maps, including support for Google Street View, plus bus schedules and walking directions
- Support for over-the-air podcast updates via the iTunes Store
- An app-scoring feature that allows users to rate applications purchased from the the App Store before deleting them
- Support for line-in audio via the iPhone’s headphone jack
Wonderful additions to the platform, all of them. Of course, there are still quite a few missing. MMS support would be nice, wouldn’t it? As would support for Flash and the ability to compose messages in landscape mode.
And what about cut-and-paste? Seriously, at this point, it’s almost like Apple (AAPL) is purposely withholding it, out of spite.

Posted by Sam Harrison at November 11th, 2008 at 3:12 pmYou must be clairvoyant…maybe not the right word..I complained to the Firefox people yesterday that their nightly build code-named “Minefield” didn’t support copy/paste. I don’t think I’ll receive a response, as this has been an issue with FF before. It seems that I have to use the middle button of the mouse.
