I would love to have the ability to copy and paste from any device to any device. Let's say I copy an email address from a website and paste it into my cellphone to save to my contacts. Or copy an Xbox 360 game handle from my Xbox 360 and paste it to Google to do a search on the user. Or Copy an address from my PDA and paste it into google maps to find directions. Or copy a URL from one PC and paste it to another. Etc, etc, etc... I know this may seem impossible but I believe it could be done with a common wireless connection. Everything has bluetooth now-a-days. All devices would simply need a bluetooth clipboard of some-sort that would hold the last 10 things you've copied into a virtual memory space which could be shared by all devices that have the software installed with your credentials.

I dont know wether to disagree or agree. It's an iffy idea and a lot of modifications would be needed to all technological devices. You're sure as hell a windows user arent you?

I know that I hate it when I 'copy' and go to the new application and 'paste' isn't highlighted, it's not possible. I'm not as conversant with games, PDA, etc, but I definitely see what you saying.

My phone (PDA-type) has a IR or USB sync, but it has bluetooth too, so I expect what your saying is possible. Probably more do-able on an open-source phone like the Google--I expect software is the problem (you tell me?)
