Apple has once again decided not to offer a Cut and Paste functionality with the latest iPhone/iPod touch update.

The new 2.2.1 update instead promises the usual array of bug fixes rather than any new ground breaking software.

You can get the update via Apple's iTunes software.

In related Apple iPhone news, the company has announced that Mark Papermaster, the company's high-profile signing from IBM last year has finally been cleared to work for the company.

Papermaster will be coming to Apple as senior vice president of Devices Hardware Engineering. He will lead Apple’s iPod and iPhone hardware engineering teams.

Apple say the litigation between IBM and Mark Papermaster has been resolved.

  • that surely cannot be his REAL surname!?! Posted by Matt, UK
  • Hopefully they will introduce 'cut & paste' soon as its so annoying without it. I got very disheartened when trying to copy & paste and finding out you just can't.

    Also hope flash websites for the iphone browser will be enabled soon too.

    At the moment the iphone talk and hype gives you the impression its the most versatile must have phone at the moment......and of course its Apples high standard which must be a piece of brilliance. In reality its not too bad but it lacks a lot of things that every other smart phone has, taken for granted every phone has, BUT which iphone could do and won't because its stubborn and I suppose doesn't really want to make it the best device in the world at the moment !!!

    Hurry up wth the 'copy & paste' and flash in safari Apple     Posted by Adrian, UK
