Fake iPhone cut & paste demo loves you

Ok, we can officially and finally put this debate to rest: yes, Apple really could use its multi-touch input system to enable users to friggin' copy / paste text in the iPhone. And to prove it, the usual random internet dude (lonelysandwich) has put his skills to the test and developed a demo proof of concept video that Conan O'Brien will probably sue over. Hit it up after the break!

My Solution to the copy and paste debate:

Copy:
Bring up the loop, and hold at the start of the text you want to copy for x seconds. Then bring up the loop at the end of the block of text and repeat. Text selected. Tap to copy, double tap or tap with 2 fingers to cut. Tap outside of selection to deselect.

Paste:
Double tap in a textbox or email - or tap with 2 fingers. Up pops clipboard, choose the text to paste - and you're done! If I knew how to make a video like that, I would - but I can't. Oh well.
