One of the main things that the iPhone and iPod touch has been missing all this time is the ol’  ”copy and paste” function. 

iPhone Atlas points us to a young developer by the name of Preston Monroe that really got tired of waiting on Apple to provide a solution so he created his own workaround called “iCopy“ 

iCopy is a bookmarklet for Safari that allows you to implement the copy and paste function.  This can be used in many different ways.  You can copy URL’s and add them directly to your email.  You can copy paragraphs and add them to online forms such as forums or blogs and so on.  This is a great workaround until Apple can implement a solution.

You will have to edit the bookmark a bit  so be sure to go the homepage of iCopy so that you can get full details on how to make this work.
