I don't get it

What's so complicated that neither Apple nor Microsoft were apple to implement copy and paste into their devices from the get-go?? It's such a basic function...I mean...it seriously seems like something that would be at the top of the list of "document and email functionality".

Not difficult, just not the first priority....when working on a program, there comes a point where you have to stop adding features and say 'okay...this is done, let's get this out there' if you wait until you have every feature that someone regards as 'essential' then you'll never be done.....Microsoft regarded copy and paste as something important enough to be in the 'we'll do this later' category, but not important enough to be in the 'we have to do this now' category...

Apple added copy and paste after 4 years and even then only because everyone was criticizing them for NOT having it.
