OpenClip made its debut recently and we reported of its copy/paste functionality within the iPhone across the various applications that are run on it. It wasn’t something out of the box but more like utilizing a hole within the iPhone that enabled applications to read across others’ sandboxes. The idea sounded great given it was based on the non-profit slogan and developers thought of it to bee within the Apple’s SDK legal framework.

Things have however turned around as the copy/past procedure creates a bit of a problem for the users; which is it creates a temporary place for the data to be paste and the user has to make his way up the home directories to find that out. The drawback comes when each application has to be seen through in series and the idea is no more supported by the 2.1.

The functionality has been put down for copy/paste across applications only and will be available for all the copy and pasting required within a single application. But it comes off as a pretty big turn off to users who could have found the application useful. That reminds me if the iPhone was to have this functionality and that to without any problems it would have done that already, there must be some sense at ticking it off from the functionality OpenClip had been designed for.
