Major news (even if it’s a day or so old), but the iPhone has 2 copy and paste apps now: Clippy and Clipboard. I have updated the reasons to jailbreak link adding this information. Check out a brief example of how it works using screenshots of me pasting from notes to safari using Clippy:

Here is the text, then mark the text.

Copy the marked text, then paste the text, in this case, I pasted into safari.

You can install Clippy from Cydia.

Clipboard shoudl be in Cydia in a day or two. See more information about it here.

I have made some site format changes to help accomodate a couple requests I have had from you users. The first request was to try to make the page a bit faster to load. So I am now only showing a few excerpts from the article with a “continue reading” link so that you don’t have to load every image from every post on the main page.

The second request was that with the app authors being able to write their own posts, it was no longer easy to find my posts, and that is what many users said they came here to read. So I have created a link at the top of the posts that will allow you to view only my posts. I have also put the author’s name in RED so that it stands out on each post.

I really want to allow developers hosting in the BigBoss Repository to be able to annouce their own apps to everybody here. That way developers can get some feedback from the users. I know that it has helped me a lot in my own apps to have comments.
