iPhone's Copy Paste Function Explained

Greg Joswiak is Apple's vice president of Hardware Product Marketing. He must be a smart man, to get to that position right? In an interview with him on launch day, some simple and common issues about the iPhone have been raised. One of the issues discussed was the copy paste function.

And since Greg Joswiak is a smart man we were expecting some smart answers from him. But here's how iPhone's copy paste function was explained. Or should I better say the missing iPhone function?

Apparently copy paste is either a really complicated feature either a very unimportant one. Mr. Joswiak said that this feature wasn't a top priority with "other things to be more important". Sure I mean why not? We'll wait one more year for the next generation of iPhones, the CopyPaste 3G iPhone.

I imagine what really happened. Why the guys in R&D were working on the last feature to be added, the copy paste thing, someone rushed into the lab. Mr. Joswiak started kicking and screaming about how "Mr. Jobs is already on the stage bullshitting people about the MobileMe application and he really needs an iPhone device in his hand and a presentation behind him up and running. Just leave the copy paste function out! Now!". These events took place evidently on the 9th of June of course.

Getting back to reality we should really be in awe. I mean, no matter what flaws the iPhone obviously still has, Apple has sold a whole million of them by Sunday. Surely copy paste will come to us eventually.
