I can't speak for everyone's use case, but cutting and pasting text is certainly not something I only do at work or in 1% of situations. Sure, there are ways to circumvent it by building in functionality directly, but it's a consistent and jarring reminder of a touch screen's current limitations.
- monsterix 13y agoYes, cut-paste is certainly a very fundamental functionality given the existing landscape of computers, existing content and the way people have expressed using the medium so far. I find typing on iPad's virtual keyboard clunky enough that I generally doodle my messages to my friends/wife when on the iPad. Good thing is that I am able to write in Hindi, my mother tongue, by doodling! Cut-paste experience on the iPad is horrible. It's not just clunky rather an impossible feat for my fingers given the text being in a small area that I want select and paste elsewhere.
