Instructions on how to copy and paste between Safari and Mail using your iPhone and PasteBud.

PasteBud enables round-trip copy and paste on your iPhone or iPod Touch, between the two applications that matter the most: Mail and Safari. And through a clever combination of web services and bookmarklets, it does it without requiring a jailbreak or App Store download.

SETUP PASTEBUD


Step One
Launch Safari or Internet Explorer and navigate to http://www.pastebud.com

NOTE*: You cannot use Firefox.

Really, by the time you do all of that you could have just typed the text. Great idea..but way too much involved to really use such a feature for regular users. Copy and paste must be internal from apple for it to really work well in my opinion.
