hey guys this is adam Liam park now calm this time I'm going to show you a comparison between the copy paste feature on a bunch bunch of different platforms so here we are we have the new blackberry torch the samsung galaxy s 4g it is one of the latest Android devices we have a ipod touch 4g so that's some iOS we have windows phone 7 we have the nokia n8 and you're probably looking at this and what the heck is that so yes this is a device from 2002 2003 so i'm going to use that to show you what copy paste was like note within the last decade let's try that one first this one comes with a great little stylist so you see it's just like a regular computer i select the text copy and then i can go into something else like a note and just paste it right there so that's pretty easy of course this works in anything go to a calendar appointment that's very much car alarm and you can put into the notes and if you had a keyboard you could also do control V and I can do shift I can do selections like this okay all that could be done with a keyboard as well so there's your old this is actually windows mobile 5 in 2005 it's on a 2003 device but there's copy face for that one next let's look at the latest Windows Phone 7 and see how copy paste works on this one so what we do is we tap a letter or a word rather and get a little selection handles and you can just drag it to select whatever amount of text you want then get this little button to some users it might be confusing what does that mean you know some kind of icon but most people will recognize that as the copy button from office and many other Microsoft programs so you just copy that and then I can go into something else and there's the paste button you can recognize that as a paste button and it goes in pretty easily one paste again there's no keyboard shortcuts for this but the blend is pretty nice pretty easy to access that next let's try iOS so on iOS we tap there's my little selection Hale bars and I can drag them out you can also get to the whole blocks so that one jump to the whole paragraph and got a little zoom so you can really specifically choose which characters to select ok and then we do copy and go to any other program tap an old and paste do it again so there you go is pretty easy I step let's try Android so here we are what we do tapped on the wrong thing and tap them text hold it there and then we get the little handle bar and you got the zoom up so you can see exactly which letters you're selecting and then we have some buttons up here and that one looks like copy and it says it was copied to the clipboard so there we go and we can go into a new message and tap and hold and then paste pretty easy there too and do that anywhere next about the nokia n8 okay so what you do when you get an email open you gotta tap and drag and then the little copy button comes up but it is kind of difficult to get everything in there you don't really have much control so this copy button just keeps popping up a loop I really want to select different things there we go now county here i can paste it I go into this menu so that's kind of a pain not terribly easy and it's even worse when you're trying to copy stuff from a webpage so kind of difficult new Kia and eight and lastly we have the blackberry torch so let's see the browser so the blackberry we can tap and hold and you can get the select button that gives us two big handlebars where we can drag exhuming you don't have to drag like right on top of it you can see the edge a little bit through the window same with up here okay then we can tap and hold and there's your copy button you can also get the selection mode from the menu and I can use the little trackball thing and copy like that so that's pretty nice and then we can go and I can go into a twitter app or whatever type of holes and paste or i can do the full menu and paste so there you go so we've got a lot of different ways of doing the same kind of thing on mobile devices hope you enjoyed that comparison of copy and paste features on blackberry Android iOS verse 17 old windows mobile 2005 and the nokia n8 that's it for now hmm
