Yes. The way the iPad does it is like this:
1) the user selects some text
2) a little "handle" appears at the end and beginning of the text
3) these handles can be dragged to increase or decrease the selection size
4) this can be hard to see/touch, so they provide a magnifying glass
effect over the touch points to make it easier
