I'm sure Apple has already implemented a universal copy/paste in their next firmware; I feel pretty bad for Proximi spending a bunch of time on it when it's right up ahead on the road. Well, at least they'll make some money from it for the time being, huh?
I agree. Proximi isn't achieving anything here in terms of "convincing Apple that it's possible". Apple CHOSE not to implement this yet. Does anyone REALLY believe they haven't figured out HOW to do it? C'mon, their programmers developed a landmark phone UI that no one else has even come close to duplicating. Of course they could add copy/paste. They chose not to. Why, because they are Apple, and they do that sort of thing. They hand out the crack in small increments so we keep salivating for more.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”

They didn't implement it in firmware for all of iPhone 1.0. Why for 2.0 immediately?
