iClipper: Copy and paste without jailbroken iPhone





iPhone users already had several softwares or solutions in doing copy and paste, but seems most of them have a few drawbacks: all the text you copy and paste get sent over the Internet (iCopy), works only within the app - so there is no cross-app copy and pasting (MagicPad) or it works only with the jailbroken iPhones (Clippy).

Kent Bewster, its creator, explained:

  • Bring up Safari on your iPhone, go to the page you want to copy from, and click the little book-shaped thingie in the bottom bar. Either your History or Bookmarks bar will probably come up; you want Bookmarks, and then Bookmarks Bar.
  • Click your iClipper bookmark, and then tap whatever you want to copy.
  • If all goes well, your e-mail client will pop up with a message filled in. The subject line will be the title of the page you're on right now; the body will be the text contents of whatever you tapped on the page.
  • From here you can send the contents wherever you want, or simply save as a draft. Presto, copy and paste.

I haven't tried it, but once you've installed and used it, let us know your experience on this.
