They are working on the 1.0 release, which is when it is officially out of BETA.

But, now you can copy and paste in and out of Safari, etc. Here's an example. I was on the cnn.com website and I copied some information from it.



Then I pasted it in Notes.

 
Has anyone else noticed that when you copy something from a webpage and then try to copy something else it will make safari crash everytime?

Or is this only happening to me??
 
How do you copy and paste?

Hold the .?123 button for 1~2seconds until the popup comes up, this has the new feature Cut, and has Copy, Paste and Stack.
To copy the entire sms bubbles press the sms bubble you wish to copy for 2 seconds until the popup appears.

They said its still in "Beta" and they are still working out the bugs. They release updates VERY often, so i'm sure when 1.0 comes out, all of that will be taken care of.
 
I'm stoked that I can finally copy and paste anything on my iPhone now.
 
How is this new clippy function different from the one we get with hclipboard? Is there any difference?

well clippy is now tied into the OS rather than being a keyboard add-on...and it can copy already inputted text rather than just text being typed... that being said, I just disabled clippy because it was way too trigger-happy when scrolling through lists... you flick to scroll and it activates clippy. if they can sort that out, it would be perfect.
 
so how exactly do you copy straight from websites? Know snout thr123 button and Click holdig SMS bubbles to copy Those but not pre-entered text
 
Clippy no longer seems to be able to cut/copy text that is embedded in websites. (I upgraded tonight after having that functionality all day).

Too bad, because it was working well for me. I'm sure it will be back- I've read it was a little too unstable as it was.

Don't upgrade to the latest update if you want to keep that function for the next little while. However, I would guess that the latest beta build is more stable than the last.
