iPhone Quick Tip: Cut and Paste

Filed under: Apple, Quick Tips, Uncategorized, iPhone — Tags: , , , , — Jeff Smith @ 8:01 am

One of the features requested the most on the iPhone is Cut and Paste.  I took 3 generations of the iPhone software before Apple finally added this simple feature.  I doesn’t work quite the way I thought it would but it does work.   To Cut|Copy you double tap the text you want to Cut|Copy.  This will bring up the Cut|Copy menu and the highlighting handles.  Chances are it has not highlighted all the text you would like.  To highlight more text just drag the handles over the text you need.   Tap the Cut or Copy command once the text has been selected to move the text into a temporary buffer.

To Paste is just as simple.  Once the text has been moved to a buffer you can navigate to the location you want to paste.  Double tap and selected Paste.

You will also notice when you double tap an area with no text you get the option to Select All.  Use this feature to select all available text.

iPhone ‘almost’ has a NES emulator

Filed under: NES, hacks, iPhone — Jeff Smith @ 9:35 am

One of the biggest complaints people have with the iPhone is the lack of software. Apple does not have any official support for 3rd party software. In fact they go out of their way to stop it from happening.

Like every other locked down proprietary device the hacker community worked their magic and unlocked the iPhone. It started off with the standard hello world and has moved up to a NES emulator. From the youtube video you can see there is still plenty of work to be done.

It is such a same I still have my old school smartphone. I want to have a smartphone NEW emulator. Unfortunately the iPhone has the market on innovation.  It is good to see that even with Apple trying to stifle the homebrew community they are still moving forward.
