Leopard Delayed In Order To Prepare iPhone
04.17.07 - 12:50pm
The iPhone is coming out in late June as promised and the public is salivating over being the first to use the most hyped and most publicized device ever to come on the market. Thus the news that Leopard will be delayed due to having to pull key programmers over to the iPhone for the most part doesn’t have people upset but rather hoping this means the iPhone will have even more capabilities than previously noted.
In a statement Apple said this, “iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is. 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.”
It’s the line “it contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped” that has potential buyers waiting with white tipped knuckles. Will it really be all Apple says it will be? Only two short months to find out.
