Apple shuts OpenClip: No more copy-and-paste

As soon as people started to get excited about open-source OpenClip, and its ability to bring copy-and-paste functionality to the iPhone, Apple found a way to shut it down with its 2.1 firmware.

CNet News has the full story.

This is one thing I dislike about working for AT&T. I have to show this phone as the "best" device in the arsenal, but it doesn't do video, cut/copy/paste, MMS, or allows OTA downloading of media. Those are all features that I use daily with my Blackjack II, and I can't live without, not even including Bluetooth OBEX and A2DP.

When Apple adds all that, then I'll probably jump.
