File This Under “Stupid.”

Upon a recent visit to Apple’s website, I saw this:

“Thousand of apps, thousands of reasons to love your iPhone.”

And I agree…mostly. (Hello Shazam. I do love you.)

But there are two things that truly bug me about the iPhone. (Well, three if I bring up the touch screen keypad, but that’s inherent in this device, so I’ll just suck it up and continue to be thankful for predictive text…)

• No copy and paste
• No multimedia messaging

If multimedia messaging isn’t currently an option, just admit it. Don’t pretend you have the feature by doing what AT&T currently does, which is to send a text from the person attempting to send a multimedia message saying:

I sent you a multimedia message. You can view my message w/in the next 5 days via the web at www.viewmymessage.com/1 using MSG ID a8ejetzt, Password cast2cake.

How stupid.

Sans a copy and paste feature, this text leaves me with few choices, neither of which I love: find a pen and paper and write down the message ID and the password or test my brain and remember two nine alpha/numeric combinations.

I’m more likely to reply to the person who sent the text and ask them to email me the image instead.

Come on Apple.  Add these very simple features and allow me to love my iPhone unconditionally.
