A few months ago, I lost 600GB of data in a power surge that erased four hour drives. .... This would be nice.

Read the article: it seems Dell made a cell phone, but absolutely DIDN'T create something different, and now they have to go back to the drawing board.

If Dell tried to create something different to begin with, they probably wouldn't be in this mess.

Look, what some of you don't seem to understand is that - yea, some of those features have been done before - but they haven't been done here, and they haven't been done like that. So, while current iPhone users feel that the overall user interface and usability trumps the "blasphemously missing features," that doesn't mean we don't welcome them if they were to show up.

And those of us taking using the App Store are also excited because many of the iPhone devs previous limitations - including peer-to-peer, notifications, and hardware support - have been all but been removed, truly allowing developers to make even better apps.

For a platform to succeed, the others don't have to lose; you realize that, right? Pre looks nice, and I'm sure MS is taking notes for WinMobile, but I'm an iPhone user and this update looks to make my experience that much better.

Copy/Paste may not be officially announced, but it's there. One of the screen shots show a list of the new APIs, and beneath Data Detectors was Text Selection.
