At last — copy & paste support for Mobile Safari!

Preston’s iCopy is installed as a bookmark utilizing JavaScript to enable copy/paste between websites. Before using iCopy, please make yourself aware of the pros and cons listed below. Namely the copying & pasting of sensitive data is a big no no; iCopy sends pasted text across the Internet in order to function properly. Nonetheless, awesome work.

Demonstration video:

Pros:

• You can copy and paste almost any text on the page.
• You can email a friend a great web page you found. Emailed text retains its HTML formatting including absolute links and images.

Cons:

• Doesn’t work with every page (mostly pages with frames).
• When pasting it is required to reload the page.
• The text you paste is added to the URL and sent across the Internet. This is VERY INSECURE so be sure not to copy and paste important private information.
