Ah, I was just waiting for this type of post. I love it how you go on a big rant about how MagicPad doesn't bring copy/paste to the entire iPhone. But can you help me out with something...

Can you tell me where the developers EVER said that would be the case?

Oh, that's right. They didn't.

It was the stupid idiotic media as usual that caught wind of the fact that this application has its own copy & paste functionality built-in and tried to drum that up with a tie-in to native copy & paste.

All these developers ever said that they've found a good way to implement copy & paste functionality while they were writing their application and it is an implementation that maybe Apple should consider bringing to the masses natively.

It seems to me like Proximi has achieved EVERYTHING they set out to do and the only people that look like idiots are the sites that misrepresented or misunderstood what that was.

Neil - you completely misunderstand the purpose of our post. MagicPad's copy/paste functionality has been overhyped, overplayed, and over-loved by the internets from day one, and we're simply trying to realign those expectations.

You'll notice that I call the app cool. It is, really -- well designed and well executed, and much love goes out to Proximi for its hard work. But a big part of our job is to keep the hype in check, and this is a case where we really felt the need to remind everyone exactly what MagicPad is.
