Are you kidding? If I had a tuppence for every time I fished I had such a feature in my digital camera...! Nothing fancy - after all, I am not going to author DVDs on my phone. No, that would be silly.

But consider just a couiple common use cases:

• You've made a longer clip so as not to miss some action and want to cut a lead/tail/middle off;
• You've made two short clips and want to stitch them together...

I understand that such a feature does not exist on a camcorder that records on a tape, but there is no excuse for it missing on anything that records to a memory card. Yet I am not aware of any device that is capable of such a small but useful feature.

Of course I have no idea how well iPhone is capable of doing that. I don't have an iPhone. I've never had an iPhone and will most likely never have one. (Although, who knows? That's what I used to think about Nokia until they became an underdog ) I just bring it forward because "nobody needs that" is the most criticized Apple paradigm. Using it to slag off a feature that iPhone actually does provide sounds rather ironic.
