Apple's Leopard delayed to October, iPhone blamed: "
Filed under: Desktops, Laptops
Sad news, kids: Apple is pushing back its Mac OS X Leopard release date from WWDC in June (now they tell us!) to October. Apple is blaming it all on the iPhone, saying that 'iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price -- we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team.' Apple will still be showing up at WWDC with a beta version to hand out to developers, since apparently the OS will be feature-complete by then, just not bug-free. We suppose we should be grateful to Apple for being cautious and avoiding the various and often severe quality assurance issues that has plagued it recently, but this whole passing the buck thing is little lame. 'Life often presents tradeoffs,' says Apple, 'and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones.' Thanks for that little nugget of wisdom, now get back to work![Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
