Using Copy-and-Paste Between the Email and Calendar Apps (iPhone 4)

The iPhone software’s new App Switcher program means you can now easily jump between your Email and your Calendar programs to copy-and-paste information. This information could be anything, ranging from critical notes you need at your fingertips for a meeting to driving directions. Follow these steps to copy-and-paste information between your Email and Calendar programs:
