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.

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..
