Copy & Paste Functionality for the iPhone: iCopy Bookmarklet
March 28, 2008

Until now, no software engineer has brought off to accomplish possibly the most requested breach on the iPhone, Copy and Paste functionality. Preston Monroe has built up a bookmarklet that presents the power to copy and paste inside Safari on the iPhone with amazingly a couple of restrictions. Also known as “iCopy,” this bookmarklet could copy paragraphs of text and URLs from Safari and paste the data back into Safari or into e-mail messages. iCopy could be expanded into a batch of additional groundbreaking usages of the bookmarklet model. Bookmarklets have been applied for password auto-filling, for looking at Safari-embedded YouTube content, doing a “Find on Page,” and turning Web pages into locally stored computer code. The writer provides this disclaimer about the iCopy’s utilization: “The text you paste is added up to the URL and transmitted over the internet, which means it is VERY UNSECURE, therefore make sure not to copy and paste crucial personal data for now.”
