Clippy Returns? Sort of...
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch)" @ 02:00 PM
"Copy/Paste is without a doubt the most wanted feature on the iPhone and I still don't understand why Apple hasn't given it to us yet... Last month, I talked about PasteBud, which was kinda bringing copy/paste to the iPhone through a combination of javascript bookmarks and web services. PasteBud definitely had its share of restrictions and it wasn't as great as I thought it would be so I gave up on it. Now comes Clippy, a free application available in Cydia through the iSpazio repo. Let me tell you right away that, even though it's still a beta version, Clippy is the best app for copy/pasting on your iPhone so far!"
You need an iPhone that's jailbroken and running Cydia, but it does work anywhere you can use the keyboard. Not too shabby for an unofficial app. I'm way too scared to jailbreak my iPhone, but I'm sure some of you have. Any thoughts on this? Have you tried it?
And, as Tim notes, isn't clippy the most ironic name ever or what?
