There is a neat little trick that allows you to copy and paste in between Safari and the Mail application on your iPhone. The trick involves some javascript and some bookmarks in Safari. The service is called Pastebud.

Is it free?

Yes, pastebud is free to use for anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch, so go ahead and use it as much as you like.

You also have the option of upgrading your clipboard for $5, to hide the footer that pastebud appends to the end of each paste.

Is it safe?

It’s certainly safe enough for most uses. All clipboards are anonymous, and destroyed withing five minutes of copy. Email addresses are not saved on the server; we only use them to reply for copying.

However, since your clipboard is being passed over the network in most cases, you should take care not to send anything sensitive.

Once the kinks are worked out of our initial launch, we’ll be focusing on the next set of premium features, including SSL, destroy-on-paste, and other security functionality, as well as enhanced customization for all users.

What else?

We’re in the process of putting together more documentation about how to use pastebud, but if you have a question in the meantime, feel free to ask us at our Get Satisfaction support center, or on Twitter.

And lastly here’s the demo video to show you how it works.
