iPhone 3.0 Might Include Copy & Paste

Digg founder Kevin Rose apparently let go with some rumours about where this week’s iPhone 3.0 software update will take Apple’s smartphone. If what Rose said at his Diggnation SXSW party holds true, users will get copy and paste abilities by pinching and dragging two quote icons to create “copy boundaries,” then a dialog to cut, copy, or paste in previously copied text. Rose has been spot-on before, but we’ll have to wait to see if he goes two for two.

Here’s the video of Rose dishing on what he’s heard at Diggnation:

Many are saying the move is intended to nix a majorly noticed gap between the iPhone and the upcoming Palm Pre. How does pinch-able copy & paste sound to you, iPhone users? And does it tempt anyone else into getting on the i-bandwagon? Tells us your take in the comments. [via Gizmodo]
