Rumor: Kevin Rose says iPhone 3.0 update will include “Copy and Paste� and keep pace with Palm Pre

Rumor: Kevin Rose says iPhone 3.0 update will include “Copy and Paste� and keep pace with Palm Pre

At a live diggnation show at SXSW, Kevin Rose claimed that the new iPhone 3.0 software update will include support for copy and paste.

With Apple’s scheduled presentation on the iPhone 3.0 software update just 2 days away, the rumors about what the update will have are piling up. One of the more interesting, and perhaps credible, rumors comes from Digg co-founder Kevin Rose who recently said at a live Diggnation taping that the new iPhone 3.0 software will support Copy and Paste. (Insert applause here).

And how will Copy and Paste work? According to Rose,

You double click on a word.. you double tap on a word, and it brings up the magnifying glass, and it has 2 quotes on the end, and you drag the quotes around the [section] that you want to copy..

Seems simple enough. One issue that comes to mind, though, is how the phone will differentiate between double taps intended to initiate a cut or paste, and those intended to zoom in on a webpage?

iPhone 4G Concept: iPhone the New Macbook?

Gizmodo has posted another concept image for the iPhone 4G, and honestly this one does not look too bad. Perhaps the edges are a bit squared but the Macbook look to it seems to be a good idea. This concept is pretty enticing with features like 32 GB of storage, titanium body, 3.2 megapixel camera, and messaging light. The messaging light alone should be enough for Crackberry Kevin to upgrade from his 3G!

So what do you readers think? Is this the direction you’d like to see Apple take with iPhone? Keep in mind this is just a concept and we here at TiPb did not name it the iPhone 4G. Sound off in the comments!
