first iphone post
By George Revutsky on Sep 16, 2008 in Uncategorized, Usability
So one of the things I think is really missing from the iPhone is the ability to cut and paste text, urls, etc.
And nowhere is this more evident than when I want to use this cool new wordpress for iPhone app. Just when I had visions of being able to edit my blog remotely…I can’t even add some anchor text and a link to this entry.
Maybe I can add a random photo though…
OK - guess not..

I agree. Where is cut-and-paste on the iPhone? I know the iPhone platform has it’s memory limitations, but c’,mon, hard hard can that be? Cut = pop it on the stack, Paste = push it off the stack.
iPhone users are also screaming for Flash, although I can understand why Apple would want to prevent that from happening. Web-based Flash apps don’t need the App Store and therefore, no 30% transaction fee per sale for Apple. However, I know how to get around giving that cut to Apple while still getting your paid app in the App Store. So if there are any iPhone app developers out there that want to save the fee, ask me.
For me, I’d just love to have video capture on the iPhone without having to Jailbreak the dang thing. I suspect we’ll see that functionality in a firmware updated sometime this year. Well, that’s my prediction and I’m sticking to it.
Happy new year, ROIworks!
