From an iPhone OS 4 Developer Launch Q&A (will update with link when it’s over):
Jason Chen:
Q: Why have you veered away from widgets on the iPad?
A: We just shipped it on Saturday. And then we rested on Sunday.
Q: So widgets are possible?
A: Everything is possible.
Could they be any more snotty? By the way, this was literally three questions after this:
Jason Chen:
Q: Is there going to be any change in Apple’s position on Java or Flash on version four?
A: No.
Clearly not everything is possible.
Why make excuses and vague hints? Just answer the question!
And this:
Jason Chen:
Q: Can you do anything to make these phones more safe so people wont’ use them when they shouldn’t be using them (like when driving).
A: I think we do more than most to connect our phones into cars’ control systems. We’ve done a great job for handsfree calling and such. We’ve done a better job on that than everyone else.
In other words, no. No, we can’t. Oh, and we’re better than everybody else. Good heavens, talk about a defensive prima donna.
That said, OS 4 looks spectacular. Except for the crushing grip Apple will maintain on the AppStore and their in-App ad system, I’m blown away.
