the 3G icon is now blue and switches faster from 3G spots to Edge and viceversa.
The battery for this same time of day seems holding on quite well.
It took a minute to 'reactivate' after install.
No cut and paste, though I think might be easy to implement if Apple just place a scissor icon next to the switch world icon for keyboard language and select and release. ]]>Sep 12th 2008 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/09/12/iphone-21-released/]]>Sep 12th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/It's sloppy, choppy and non-responsive.

So... where's that copy/paste button? Putting it on the keyboard is fine for the 20% of cases where you actually have the keyboard open, but most cases where you need a clipboard are when you have text in non-interactive, read-only format which you need to enter somewhere else. Where would the copy/paste button be then?
The obvious answer would be the menu bar, but at twenty pixels (3 mm) high it's not the easiest place to touch. However, it can be done - but not without destroying the tapping-the-menu-bar-scrolls-to-the-top paradigm.

For a much better analasys, see http://daringfireball.net/2007/08/clipboard_and_arrows#fnr2-2007-08-09]]>Sep 12th 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/
I would the C/P button on the bar at the bottom of the screen. It looks to me as though there is plenty of space to add a button or two. But even if I'm wrong that's hardly the point, is it? It's an idea and I'm sure other people have ideas. Some ideas have been posted. Someone explain to me WHY there can be no copy/paste. If you can't do that you have little room to criticize ideas.]]>Sep 12th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 15th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/12/iphone-2-1-update-is-out-bug-fixes-and-longer-battery-life-prom/Sep 12th 2008 9:18AM
