OpenClip Offers Copy/Paste Framework for iPhone

OpenClip is a non-profit, open-source, community-effort project, which promotes a framework for the iPhone that allows users to copy / paste between participating applications.

Apple has yet to implement copy / paste on the iPhone. While they have publicly stated their intention to do so in the future, Apple has noted that copy / paste is not high on their list of priorities.


OpenClip utilizes a shared space on the iPhone. Applications that use the OpenClip framework can access this common area to write to and read from, allowing copy / paste between participating apps.
