iphone cut and paste
The new iphone software was released today and it includes Cut and Paste at last. My London mate @TommyDarko posted something about it a few weeks back. He knows about this kind of thing and was helping apple beta test the new OS before the full release went out to numpties like me today. He reckons Apple have nailed it, and so do I. Its easy, intuitive and it properly solves one of the few annoying issues I've had with the iphone.
Aside from that there is other cool stuff in this update. My picks would be Internet Tethering (allowing you to connect your laptop to the internet through your iphone's 3G connection if you happen to out of wi-fi range), better calendar and if some scally nicks the thing, you can now click a button to wipe all your personal data off it wherever it is through the excellent Mobile Me service.
With the new hardware available (iphone 3G s - the S stands for speed apparantly) which even though it looks exactly the same does have some significant improvements to things like the camera and GPS chips, there's never been a better gadget. Sure there are the naysayers who bang on about blackberries and the like, but really the mobile phone using world is polarised into only 2 camps. Those who have, use and love the iphone. And those who don't yet. Heck - even my Auntie Carole has one!
