A simple demo of Android's built-in and universal cut, copy and paste functionality. Note that the dialog is brought up by long-pressing a text input area or selected text.

  • With all due respect, this is fraud. Certain text fields - and it is Android that decides which - can be copied and pasted. What about a universal copy and paste? Say, I want to get some text from an e-mail message. Android does not even let me select text. Maybe there is such a capability, but since my phone arrived w/o any useful documentation how much time do you think I'm supposed to spend finding functionality, which on Blackberry is trivial?

  • So,how do you do actually useful copy and pasting? The whole text piece was one word, and the interface gave no indication whether or not there are selection options other than 'everything'. Seeing as nearly all of my selections for a copy would fall under 'not everything', it seems like something the video should show. Also, how do you copy text from a web page? Or any non-editable text for that matter? Again, that makes up the bulk of my copies, so it seems that would've been useful to show.

  • I bet this will be one of iPhone's next fixes in it's next 3G or next firmware update.
