vimeo.com— here's a video mockup of what the missing Copy and Paste might look like on the iPhone. done in the style of the Apple iPhone demo videos.

I'll probably get dugg down for this BUT, this is incredibly un-apple. See... pinch zoom is cool because it's obvious, put two fingers, and pull, you're making the interface more in sync with how you'd think it'd work. Why would tapping with a second finger have anything to do with copying? You'd have to put it in the manual or something for people to get it. It's just not obvious. What happens if you're selecting and you touch the screen with another finger accidentally? Now you have this copy dialog that people have to click through, which is really difficult because if someone hasn't read the manual and doesn't know that it exists, they'll wonder how they got there, and get frustrated by how to get to it again.
Funny video, but the actual interface demo'd is worthless crap. "Select mode?" Yeah, that's just what we want to introduce into the iphone text editor. Modality.Instead, why not have selections be grabbed from the loop mode when a second finger touches the screen and drags? And clipboard history? It's a nice feature for geeks, but its superfluous for the iPhone. Apple's already patented the copy and paste gestures, they just need to get the selection mode down. It's videos like this that remind me how good Apple is at what they do.
Yeah, it's the body/head of the iPhone tour guy on Apple.com with someone else's mouth and voice. I just though it was funny how he filled in gaps with the random motion of the eye brow and the "I love you" at the end.

Is it just me or is everything on Vimeo extra-funny.

Definitely. Except for the fact that it's a mockup, not proof of concept.
