iPhone: .RTF, WTF?

So, iPhone can handle .DOC, .PDF, and .XLS files for viewing, but it can’t view a measley .RTF file? Are you kidding me? Can you say “oversight”? If this omission was intentional, it must have something to with needing to save space. I guess if you are aiming to hit the bigger audience, and you could only choose one – .DOC or .RTF, the Marketing guys would probably push for .DOC.

Still, it left me speechless that my $600 $400 smartphone couldn’t handle a simple .RTF file for viewing.
