Apple’s cut, copy, and paste commercial – are they serious?

I haven’t ever really been a fan of Apple, especially since they limit expandability (e.g. support for memory cards in the iPhone). Granted, Apple “stuff” (e.g. software) works well and that’s a major reason for people loving what Apple produces. That being said, as I watched the phenomenal mega biggy uber long crazy tennis Wimbledon match this morning I saw an Apple commercial highlighting the new iPhone’s ability to cut, copy, and paste. I laughed. Are you kidding me? This is a feature worthy of a commercial? My Blackberry has had the copy and paste feature for over 2 years. Here’s the commercial showing “incredible things”:

It may not be revolutionary, but the Apple implementation is nicely done. It’s definitely easier, faster, and more elegant than the Blackberry solution. I use the Pearl as my phone but I tried out the new cut-and-paste using the iPod Touch. Once thing that’s really nice is how easy it is to expand the selection before you do the copy.
