All Things Digital has an interview with Jobs, Schiller, and Forstall posted. One point seems to be that they think the misunderstanding is an education issue, and that Apple, and other companies need to do a better job at explaining how all these location services work.

Forstall also commented the file is being truncated now, but only when the file hits 2MB. This was clearly high enough to contain a ton of data, and as previously announced, they will be switching to a time based truncation method of a week.

Something revealed earlier in the official announcement and reiterated in the interview is that Apple is planning on using the anonymous data they do collect for a traffic reporting system. No further details on it were given though. This may be part of iOS 5, with the rumored departure from Google Maps to an Apple built maps program.

I was curious if you have an ETA about when you would be coming back full time?

Jobs: Look, we’re here to talk about location today, not me.

Yep, thats Steve Jobs. Looks like his health problems haven't impacted his feistiness.
