Last month, I talked about PasteBud, which was kinda bringing copy/paste to the iPhone through a combination of javascript bookmarks and web services. PasteBud definitely had its share of restrictions and it wasn't as great as I thought it would be so I gave up on it. Now comes Clippy, a free application available in Cydia through the iSpazio repo. Let me tell you right away that, even though it's still a beta version, Clippy is the best app for copy/pasting on your iPhone so far!"</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1232545434.usr18053.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>You need an iPhone that's jailbroken and running Cydia, but it does work anywhere you can use the keyboard.&nbsp; Not too shabby for an unofficial app.&nbsp; I'm way too scared to jailbreak my iPhone, but I'm sure some of you have.&nbsp; Any thoughts on this?&nbsp; Have you tried it?</p><p>And, as Tim notes, isn't clippy the most ironic name ever or what?</p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1232545660.usr18053.jpg" /></p>

I've used it the past couple days, the only minor issue I found, is when the number keyboard is open, the Copy/Paste bar covers up the SMS message that's being typed.

It actually came in handy the other day when I had to copy/paste an IP address from my eWallet to an SMS. :)
