We all kinda wish there was a Copy n Paste feature on the iPhone, sadly there isn’t (even though the Apple Newton had it).

Now there is a solution – which strangely enough I can’t test. PasteBud, is an application that allows copy and paste functionality on the iPhone.

Here’s a little from the developer:

So what exactly is PasteBud, how does it work and what does it do exactly? Well it is a piece of javascript that enables the copy paste feature on your iPhone/iPod touch. You can copy text from any webpage in MobileSafari and than paste it into Mail.

PasteBud does not require a jailbreak device. If you are on a jailbreaked device, don’t worry this will work. There might be a free version and a premium version of PasteBud, but since this will be available for everybody only in a few hours from now , i don’t have any info on that.

First you will have to save the javascripts for copy and for paste as bookmarks on your MobileSafari. After you done that, you will need to edit those bookmarks, and delete the extra lines in them. This will enable the javascripts and allow you to copy and paste .

Next step is to send a mail to pastebud and activate the service. You can do that with one tap on your secret pastebud address. After you done all that you are good to go”.

If you have Safari or Internet Explorer you can apparently install it – however I’m running the latest version of Safari on this Mac and I can’t install it.

Still I reckon you should check out the full post over at Funky Space Monkey as this app shows some real potential.
