Apple: We Don't Hate GPS, Cut and Paste, or iPhone Office Suites

AppScout's Sascha Segan interviewed Apple product head Greg Joswiak on missing iPhone applications and features and got the following answers -

Why isn't there cut and paste?

Apple has a priority list of features, and they got as far as they could down that list with the 3G iPhone. Meaning cut and paste was just not a priority.

What's the deal with GPS driving directions? (Apple's SDK license agreement prohibits development of driving-directions apps, and according to NY Times's David Pogue the iPhone's GPS antenna is much too small to emulate the turn-by-turn navigation of a GPS unit for a vehicle.)

The iPhone's GPS is just like the GPS in other phones, many of which do provide driving directions. Rather, there are some murky complicated issues preventing driving directions apps at the moment.

Where's the iPhone office suite?

There might be issues with applications each having their own file space. (There's no cross-application file structure.)
