copy and paste on the iphone is a horrible kludge compared to what you could do on the newton. double-tap a word, or tap, hold and drag a block of text. drag it to the edge of the screen. go to where you want it and drop it off. needed multiple blocks? drag them one at a time they all hung out at the edge. simple and it worked. i never seem to get selection properly on my iphone, dragging those left and right side pins is a total PITA. i'm limited to one block at a time and have no visual way to know what is in the clipboard.
jobs didn't do it right on the iphone, he did it different. because he hated the newton and wouldn't be caught dead borrowing from it.
