iPhone 2.0 allows pictures to be saved from Safari

Gizmodo has done some looking around iPhone Firmware 2.0, and has found a great feature in the 2.0 Safari. Tapping and holding on an image, as you can currently do with links to see the URL they point to, provides the option of saving the image to your iPhone. Once saved, you can do with it what you like, just as a regular photo. Send it via Mail, set it as a wallpaper, or use it as a contact picture.

This is a great feature and is yet another thing I eagerly await in iPhone firmware 2.0. Now where’s that copy and paste implementation?

Speaking of which, what is wrong with using a simple tap twice, holding on the second tap approach? it seems natural enough. Double tap as if to zoom in, but hold on the second tap, and after a second, you can begin to drag to select text.

How do you think that would work? Have an idea of your own? Sound off below.
