apple from about 1998 and on has a history of not wanting to do something until they know how to do it right. they needed two years to figure out how to make copy paste work right on a phone. now, a year later, there still isn't a mobile copy paste implementation that equals it. just try it on the nexus one. it's painful compared to the iphone's implementation.
