iPhone 3.0 Cut and Paste

Why this wasn't part of the iPhone software from the first day it was sold I'll never understand. But Apple informally announced today that iPhone will cut and paste by this summer.

Amazing that cut and paste is a breakthrough. But it will be a big email relief.

Maybe in 2010 they'll figure out how I can search my inbox and store important messages offline.

From Bloomberg:

The new operating system software, called iPhone OS 3.0, adds more than 100 new features for users. In addition to being able to cut, copy and paste information between applications, it offers support for photo, video and audio messages.

UPDATE: As Dan points out in the comments below, Apple did actually announce an iPhone search function and the ability to use the "widescreen" keyboard when sending e-mail. The people have been heard!

As it turns out, searching your email will also be part of the 3.0 OS update. So you won't need to wait till 2010!

Thanks Dan. Just saw a note to that effect myself on a couple of the Apple blogs.
