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.

  2. I have to show my thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of challenge. After exploring throughout the the web and finding suggestions which were not pleasant, I figured my entire life was over. Living devoid of the strategies to the difficulties you’ve resolved as a result of your main post is a serious case, as well as the kind that would have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your site. Your main training and kindness in playing with all the pieces was excellent. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a thing like this. I am able to now relish my future. Thanks for your time so much for this reliable and sensible help. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your site to anybody who should have assistance about this subject matter.
