Apple says turn-by-turn GPS coming to iPhone, copy / paste not a high priority

Engadget:

“There’s been a lot of random misinformation about the iPhone 3G floating around out there, like David Pogue’s baffling comment
that the device’s GPS antenna is “too small” to support turn-by-turn
directions, and Apple’s iPod and iPhone marketing head Greg Joswiak
recently sat down with AppScout to clear up some of the confusion. Greg
says that Apple has an internal priority list of features for the
iPhone, and that the company went as far down the list with the 3G as
it could — and that copy / paste support simply didn’t make the cut.
Similarly, there are no technical issues preventing turn-by-turn
directions, just other “complicated issues” (read: legal agreements)
that need to be sorted out, and Josiwak expects developers to “amaze
us.” as things “evolve.” Hopefully that means that nav app TomTom’s got in the labs
will evolve its way into the wild sometime soon. Finally, Joswiak said
that he’s not aware of any technical reasons an office suite isn’t
already in the App Store, but that the lack of a cross-application file
structure could impede development. Yeah, and maybe the lack of copy /
paste, you think?”
