There was some bad news for Mac users this week. Apple announced that it won’t be releasing Leopard, the next generation of its OS until October and not June as previously promised. The reason is that they have had to pull developers and resources off the OS team to get the iPhone finished on time.

“We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is,” Apple said. “However, 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, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned.”
