Hi Gigi,
Type2phone lets you use your mac to control and type into your i
device. By having the paste work you can easily move text from the mac to any
application on the i device that has a edit field.
You are correct that you can type a note on the Mac and it can appear
in the notes app on the i device, Actually I did a podcast for Applevis
that demonstrates that. But, if you then want the text in a different app you
need to cut and paste it in. With the function of cut and paste working on
type2phone you not only have a working alternative to a bluetooth keyboard for
your i device but you also have the advantage of being able to move text
created on or existing on the Mac directly to any text field on the i device.
For me this means that I could type up a recipe on my Mac, or simply copy a
existing one and then paste it directly into the text field of a item in List
Recorder. Or, my Senior presentation could be pasted right into my
presentations list under my work list. This would certainly improve
productivity in many apps.
Hope this explanation explains better how this is different then using Notes.
