iPhone finally gets copy and paste!

No surprises here: Apple just announced that iPhone OS 3.0 will support copy and paste. A double-tap auto-selects the text you want with movable "grab points," and a pop-up edit bar display buttons for cut, copy, and paste. Finally! It works in every major app, including SMS and Safari, and what's more, there's also "shake to undo," which is exactly what it sounds like: a quick shake brings up a box that allows you to undo and redo c/p actions. It's a pretty nifty implementation, sure, but it's a little silly we've had to wait this long for it, don't you think?

Someone must be a Lost fan (Oceanic Flight 815 :P)

I have an iphone and have had it almost since they came out. I love this phone, but even my V3 RAZR had copy and paste. I think it's frickin' hilarious that this functionality being implemented is 'Breaking News' LMFAO (This comment is not meant to trash engadget, Apple is the ones who made this into breaking news)
