Not all smart phones can do it, and not all Windows mobile phones can do it either.

The fact is Mac used copy and paste before Windows in the first place. But that's beside the point.

But personally I'm not excited about 3.0 because it's just going to set up an ecosystem where developers can charge you little by little, and before you know it you payed too much for one app.

3.0 will allow developers to charge for updates, etc, which is lame. Updates should be part of the inital cost. Otherwise I wont buy an app until it has all the updates I would want. I also think that paying for extra maps is a really lame thing to do for games. How hard is it to make a new map? It takes maybe a couple hours, depending on the game.

Yeh, not all, I was being blunt, but a hell of a lot of them have for ages.

It seriously did not deserve a clap; I've got an ipod touch and I love Apple products, but seriously, clapping friggin copy and paste; it's sheer fanboyism, and serious journalists should not be cheering Apple on when they make announcements like this.
