Text input on iOS (iPhone)

[rosetter]

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck with text input on iOS? In particular, I don't see how to get the native:

• tap-and-hold to get a magnifying glass
• tap to get copy/paste/select menu

Also, I need Japanese input, which is not working at all for me. I can get the keyboard, but it's missing lots of important functionality. :(

Thanks for any pointers!
