digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/apple/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! 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.
