Like many here I picked up one of the Peak developer preview phones with every intention of dogfooding it, creating some basic apps to get familiar with it, and enjoying something simpler.
But, and I feel like I'm back in 2007 saying this about the first iphone, the lack of copy and paste is a deal breaker. Going back to a phone without it and not being able to copy a url into an email, paste a friends phone number to some one else in a txt, or have a reasonably useful password manager is much too far of a step back for me to take these days.
I'm hoping this is something the core team puts in before too long, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747798 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747798, but until then the phone is really useless to me for day to day.
- bad_user 13y agoThe Firefox browser on Android does have copy/paste and this is relevant because Mozilla wants to make Firefox a portable mobile platform for apps, so it is safe to assume that FxOS should have feature parity with the Firefox Android soon.
- dpeck 13y agois copy and paste support a function of the application on android? eg, something it has to specifically allow? seems that copy/paste/clipboard support for firefoxos is going to have to be implemented at the is level and not each individual app, there's already hacks for the latter but the former is what is actually needed
