San Francisco - As users await Apple's (NASD: AAPL) own promised implementation of copy-and-paste functionality on the iPhone, independent developer Zac White has introduced OpenClip, a standard that can be used by iPhone application developers to enable copy-and-paste between their various applications, CNET News.com reported. The standard -- which does not allow copy-and-paste between e-mail and Safari -- is expected to soon be supported by iPhone applications including MagicPad, Twittelator, American Heritage Dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus.
