I recently told you all about Zac White, a college student from Oklahoma University who had modified and adopted the copy and paste framework found in the iPhone application MagicPad [App Store] to work outside of a sand-boxed environment and in partnership with other applications …
Apple being Apple, has announced that software 2.1 will completely break the Open Clip framework, for both iPhone and iPod touch, by disabling the basic mechanism OpenClip functions on – the ability to write into other application’s shared spaces. Apple explained Zac’s ‘workaround’ was just that, a non-the-less, clever, exploit of a loophole in iPhone OS. They stated Zac’s method was not exactly running on safe ground
First no MMS, then no tethering, and now you’ve taken copy and paste too.
“See this Apple, this is the light at the end of the tunnel,
now look at this, this is you with a huge boulder.”
The team over at open clip have since posted an update in light of this news.
