Apple says turn-by-turn GPS coming to iPhone, copy / paste not a high priority {Engadget}
Jul 14th 2008 9:34PM I suspect you're correct. Remember how Jobs declared the keyboard and stylus a "bad thing" at the launch of the original iPhone - that touch and the fingertip was the only way to go.
Well that backs you into a corner when a fingertip proves to be a difficult way to select a range accurately - you should be able to multi-touch start and end but maybe that's not so easy - then you have to determine what you're cut, copy and paste gestures should be. Or implement a pop up/pull down menu.
At this point the only reason not to have it is because it would be a kludge that the design religion will not allow.
