Bezel Swipe

The iPhone takes a fresh approach at defining the user interface for mobile devices, which invites further innovation for new generations of touch enabled mobile devices. At the same time, some of its interaction designs provide challenges. For example, swiping gestures can be used anywhere on the screen of an iPhone for navigation, no scroll bars are used. This makes navigation remarkably seamless and easy, at the expense of selection tasks that would also be supported naturally by the same gestures. In this demo, we show techniques that enable both activities simultaneously with minimal interference. We also demonstrate other user interface designs that are driven by the features and and a desire to overcome the limits of small displays for iPhone-type devices. This includes diagonal scrolling as a means to maximize line width and font size for mobile reading, and a graphical authentication method.

I would say the way that Apple ended up doing copy+paste is better than this. This is a pretty good idea though.
