Try hClipboard... hClipboard is superior. hate how Clippy hides the message bar. You'll need to tap the space next to "paste" to show it again... one more step)
Also Hclipboard allows copying of multiple fields which comes in handy when copying eg the name and number of a contact. Clippy only allows copy of one field
it's great, for now!! but i'd like to have the possibility to copy parts of a webpage as well. and it would be great to be able to copy sms messages. Thanks alot!
waiting for a update ;-)
Hi there! Been a long time fan of iClarified, only now decided to register... Quick question: I have installed Clippy Beta on my iPhone 3G, restarted Springboard and nothing happens. I have followed your instructions as they appear, removed it and installed it again and still nothing. HELP!!!
