That's a good question, we need to find a consistent method for this. The two 
most obious solutions in my opinion are:
- Using a context menu on any markable text
- Clicking an icon in the bar to copy or paste
I'm not exactly sure which one is better and they're certainly both not 
exaxctly great. 
Copy & paste is generally not easy on touch-driven devices since neither 
keyboard nor extra mousebuttons are available for this.
It's no accident that Apple just did not include the function at all in the 
first iOS release and only reluctantly implemented it due to protesting users 
later.
But the apple case also shows that this is extremely important to have (it 
takes a really strong pain for an Apple fan to disagree with Steve Jobs' 
design decisions ;) )
I must admit that I don't know how either Apple or Google have solved this for 
their mobile OSes, but I'd it is okay to get some "inspiration" from them 
unless we find a solution that's better than both.
