How do we access the clipboard on mobile devices?

[jonathandlynch at gmail.com]

I was very surprised it wasn't. I plan to submit Augmented Earth to the apple App Store today. I am going to be embarrassed to tell users they cannot paste text into their reports on a mobile device.

I think I will try to find a workaround between version 1 and version 1.1
