Thanks to Brian, Co-Founder of Proximi, Developers of MagicPad for sending this in via email

I posted last week about the great new Cut, Copy and Paste app that hopefully will be coming soon to and iPhone/Touch near you. I had found some screen shots and lots of mention of it being submitted to the AppStore for review, but never really got a name to go with the face. Well the app is called MagicPad and it looks awesome.

“MagicPad is a rich-text editor that was recently submitted to Apple for verification and inclusion into the App Store. A rich text-editor, the first of its kind for the iPhone, MagicPad allows users to create text documents in which they can change fonts, text sizes, colors, and even add bold, italic, underline, and strike-through effects to their text. It will also finally bring copy & paste functionality to the iPhone.”

Here is a short video of the app at work on an iPhone thanks to AppleiPhoneApps.com

First Look - MagicPad from Apple iPhone Apps on Vimeo.

I still have no idea if this will allow users to copy and paste info into and out of this app to be then placed into text fields of other apps (like Mail or Wordpress for example). But for putting together formatted documents and the ability to email them to people this is great, in fact I would dare say it’s awesome.

Rumors are also going around that Copy and Paste may finally make it into a future release of iPhone firmware 2.1 or later, until then this will be a welcomed addition to the iPhone and I am certain that it will be available on the AppStore soon, and hopefully at an affordable price.

The video proves that this app is not very practical to use.
Text selection seems like a tedious task.

Here is a brilliant idea that shows a better alternative implementation.

This function is the only reason why I never kept my iphone. I am a cellphone addict, which I love blackberries though because of there ability to copy/cut & paste. When the iphone came out, I was the only one at my job to have it. I ended up selling it 3 days later. The lack of functions on it was very disappointing to me. Copy/cut/paste, was a major one, along with the option to forward text messages. However, the iphone touch screen capabilities have been the best so far. I would love to have the phone again, but I’m waiting for those functions to be added first.
