Copy/Paste kinda sorta works on iPhone with some trickery
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
Well, this is a hack in the most literal of senses but it could be useful in a handful of circumstances...
Unlike other approaches, it works with the two apps that matter most, Mail and Safari, and gets around Apple's onerous App Store terms through a clever combination of javascript bookmarks and web services.
In fact, it doesn't require anything to be installed, so it avoids the App Store altogether. As you can see in the video, Pastebud--as the service is called--works using two bookmarks in Safari. One prepares and loads the page you ...
iPhone hope? Pastebud bringing Copy and Paste between Safari and Mail
CrunchGear —
Ladies and Germs, we have news. Copy and Paste might finally come to your iPhone. This clever method bypasses the App store by utilizing two Javascript bookmarks and web services that doesn’t require any software installation. The service, dubbed Pastebud, is launching tomorrow and according to the video above, seems to work well. Perfect? Nope, but a hella big step forward.
Copy and Paste Comes to iPhone
Wired: Gadget Lab —
The elusive iPhone Copy and Paste is getting to be something of a joke, and the latest punchline comes from Pastebud, a yet-to-be released workaround which will let you move text around your iPhone.
Instead of hooking in to the iPhone's guts and working some illegal magic there, Pastebud works by combining two Javascript bookmarks (named, of course, Copy and Paste) with some online web-service jiggery-pokery. The video shows us how:
What appears to be happening is that the Copy button takes the URL of your current web page and opens it in Pastebud's site. Once there, it looks like some Ajax-y ...
Pastebud to bring cut and paste to iPhone
Webware.com —
A new Web service called Pastebud will soon let iPhone users copy and paste text from Safari into Mail and between Web pages.
Since the iPhone was launched 18 months ago, many users have complained about its lack of cut and paste functionality. Users were once again disappointed when the iPhone 3G was launched in July without cut and paste capabilities.
Third parties have tried to create applications to add cutting and pasting to the iPhone, but most have failed. One such application called OpenClip, seemed promising earlier this year. But Apple's 2.1 version of iPhone software that was released in late summer, shut ...
Another Clever (But Futile) Attempt At iPhone Copy And Paste (AAPL)
Silicon Alley Insider —
Another iPhone coder has stepped up to fudge Apple's long-missing iPhone copy and paste feature: Pastebud, a new service launching tomorrow, will offer a bare-bones copy and paste system that supposedly works in Apple's Safari Web browser and Mail app.
How does it work? Using Javascript hooks and a Web service, founder Jed Schmidt says in an email. (See video below for demo.)
Very cool, and we're glad Jed is trying to solve Apple's problems. But it's not going to last. Eventually, Apple will get around to making their own copy and paste that's universal across all iPhone apps, and Pastebud won't need to exist.
This past summer, an ...
Pastebud Brings Copy and Paste to iPhone Between Mail and Safari
MacBlogz - One Stop Apple News —
Pastebud is a new service for iPhone users that will allow copy and paste functionality between the Mail and Safari applications.
Gizmodo first posted Pastebud’s video. Currently, the service doesn’t require anything extra to be installed. It avoids Apple’s App Store by using two bookmarks in Safari. “One prepares and loads the page you are viewing, ready to select text at the touch of a finger. From there, you can copy any text you want and create a new mail message with that text in it. In addition to that, you will be able to copy and paste in the text field of a different web page,” Giz ...

Copy and paste (kind of) comes to the iPhone (again)
VentureBeat —
Everyone wants copy and paste capabilities on the iPhone. That’s why I’m sure it’s not a question of “if” but “when” Apple will eventually implement it. Still, the device has now been out for a year and a half and they haven’t added it yet for whatever reason. Instead, some determined developers continue to come up with work arounds, and the one involving Safari bookmarks is the best yet.
Pastebud uses two JavaScript bookmarks — one for the copying and one for the pasting — to enable you to move information from one web page to another. More importantly, it allows you to ...

GEARFUSE —
Lucky you, iPhoners and iPod Touchers. Seems a little “application” called Pastebud brings copy and paste functionality to Safari and Mail through clever JavaScript and bookmarking. Consider it the year’s ultimate iPhone hack. It’s not an official application that you get through the App Store but it sure as hell works. Hey, it’s the best you’re going to get until Apple changes its Terms of Service. Link

PasteBud, An iPhone Copy and Paste That Works Between Safari and Mail!
Planet iPhones —
[image]    Gizmodo reports about a new method of copy and paste for iPhone and this time it’s completely legal! Not endorsed by Apple in anyway, it is available without needing to jailbreak to use it and it won’t be available on App Store anytime soon because it isn’t even an application!    This is basically a method that works with a combination of javascript bookmarks and web services, both of which makes it impossible for it to ever make it to the App Store.  The best thing is that this method works between two of the most crucial apps, Mail and Safari!    The service which makes all this possible is named PasteBud .

Pastebud Brings Copy and Paste to the IPhone
ReadWriteWeb —
The one feature that is still sorely missing from the iPhone is copy and paste. While we have seen a few third-party developers attempt to hack together a working system, none of these ever really worked out because they exploited loopholes in the iPhone operating system that Apple simply closed.
Today, however, copy and paste between Safari and Mail is really coming to the iPhone, courtesy of two nifty JavaScript bookmarks from Pastebud. Instead of trying to hack the operating system, Pastebud elegantly circumvents these problems by outsourcing most of the copy and paste mechanism to the web. We have been testing it for the last ...
Pastebud to launch iPhone cut-paste service Friday
MacNN | The Macintosh News Network —
[image] Copy and paste will finally arrive for the iPhone Friday, at least in a limited form of copy and paste between Safari and Mail , reports say. Pastebud is a new web-based service which uses a bookmarking system to replicate copy and paste, detouring the App Store by not installing anything. Two Safari bookmarks serve as copy and paste modules, allowing for selection of text and pasting into Mail or another webpage. Though the service is limited to Mail and Safari, it should be useful for clipping web text and e-mailing it to friends or co-workers. There is no word yet whether the service will carry a cost. For more info, contact Pastebud via ...

Pastebud Brings Copy and Paste to the iPhone and iPod Touch
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
If you’re using an iPhone, chances are you’re frothing at the mouth for a real copy/paste feature to be added to the device OS. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will actually become a reality at MacWorld this coming year (in January), but we’ve been waiting for this for awhile… So don’t be surprised if it doesn’t surface.
At any rate, in the meantime it looks like there’s a new workaround for this problem. Called Pastebud, the new service will allow iPhone and iPod touch users copy/paste functionality between Safari to Mail, or simply between ...
