Tuesday, 15 July 2008 Apple speaks on copy-&-paste, GPS on iPhone
Greg Joswiak sheds a little light
Apple has clarified some outstanding questions as regards the feature-set of the iPhone.
The company's head of iPod and iPhone marketing, Greg Joswiak told Extreme Tech that cut-&-paste isn't yet supported in the mobile because Apple just wasn't able to accomplish it in time for release, the company "judged other things to be more important".
Joswiak also denied claims the GPS unit used in the iPhone 3G isn't capable of delivering driving directions, the product chief explained some complex issues to be holding up development of driving control applications, observing: "It will evolve. I think our developers will amaze us."
Finally, Joswiak had little to say as to any plans for any third party developer to introduce an Office suite for the iPhone, but did point out that lack of a cross-application file structure on iPhone could bedevil development of such solutions.
