Good points. The current product is a combination of prioritization and ability to execute. Some features undoubtedly were intended to make it but were cut/scaled back due to time while others are actual product decisions that indicate the direction Apple is taking us. I suspect the UI is a bit of both. Apple is -very- controlling of their UI and their default always seems to be 'remove the option from the user until we are absolutely forced to give it to them'. I can believe the home screen is a bit of product and time and it is possible the codec stuff is the same, but the cynic in me is still saying Apple has consumer unfriendly reasons for not supporting the codec.
