This is a rerun - but a splendid one. It shows how Apple could implement copy-&-past on the iPhone - using 15-year old technology put together for the Newton MessagePad. Hats off to BoingBoing’s Mark Frauenfelder for the spot.
Another thing that would be awesome; hold down a link in safari for two seconds and get a pop-up option to open the link in a new tab. Just like when you hold down an image and get an option to save the image. I currently have a bookmark that converts all links in a page to "open in tabs" links, but that's a pain.
Building on this, all they need is a way to highlight a block of text, then when you hold it down for two seconds you get a "copy to clipboard". Some other genius can work out the "paste" part.

Right now, isn't the "tap-hold-drag" gesture already taken for "edit". If you tap-n-hold, you get the magnifying glass instead of a selection ability.
