Pastebud - Copy/Paste on the iPhone

Pastebud has come up with a bookmark script and webservice system that allows iPhone users to copy text and paste it between browser windows or into mail. A simple to use system that until Apple comes up with a way for universal copy and paste will solve many of the problems introduced by the lack of copy and paste. The beauty of the system is that it doesn't require installation of any programs and therefore circumvents the need for the App Store. All that is required are two bookmarks, one for preparing the page for copy and the other to paste into another browser window.

The service and website aren't available yet but will soon be launched after final testing is complete on the 12th December (tomorrow). In the meantime check out the video below of Pastebud in action.

The iPhone's copy and paste app is a better implementation and much more improved!

Definitely but it still requires you to jailbreak your phone and some people aren't prepared to do that
