+High on the iPhone's list of missing features is some sort of copy-n-paste functionality. While Apple hasn't said anything about adding such features, that didn't stop a user by the name of lonelysandwich from creating the fake "proof-of-concept" video embedded above.
+
+Lonelysandwich's video makes hilarious use of the iPhone promo spots, but the method itself seems a little awkward. To my thinking, Apple would be better off using a finger drag for selecting, though I can see where it would be difficult to determine if the drag was intended to select or just move the loupe.
+
+But the clipboard "okay" screen and the pasting method in the video make perfect sense and fit well with the rest of the iPhone's interface.
+
+Be sure to let us know if you have a better idea.
