*begin quote*
OpenClip accomplishes this feat while still following the rules of Apple's SDK. iPhone applications are allowed to read from other application's files but only write to their own. By creating a standard location for each application's "clipboard", applications can "copy" by simply saving data locally and "paste" by pulling the most recently saved data across all applications.

I.e., while you talk about a shared space an app can both read and write to, the above explanation has each app writing clipboard info to its own space, from which other apps can read but not write.
