Apple delays release of OS X Leopard

The release of the most awaited Mac OS X Leopard has been delayed due to the iphone, so people just chill, calm down, relax and wait till October 2007 hopefully............As it is said "Have patience, and u'll definitely get the best thing............"
I'm saying this because I am one of them, who is been waiting for a long time for this thing.

The operating system was scheduled to be available this spring, but the company focused instead on launching iPhone, which analysts predict will be a hit
.

The company said the delay occurred because critical software and resources were needed to complete Apple's iPhone, which has passed several tests and is still on schedule to be released in late June.The new shipment date for Mac OS X "Leopard" will be in October, the company said on 12-04-2007, Thursday.

Instead, a "near-final version" of Leopard will be ready for the developers at the conference to take home, Apple said.

Though Leopard's features will be complete by then, Apple said the company won't be ready to ship what it considers a "quality release."

"We think it'll be worth the wait," Apple said. "Life often presents trade-offs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones."

Analysts said the company had made a good choice in the face of a potential problem.

Leopard is Apple's sixth major upgrade to Mac OS X since the desktop operating system debuted in 2001.

In fact, Apple has ribbed its larger rival Microsoft Corp for its repeated delays of the Vista operating system.

The overhauled Windows platform was released in January after five years of development and is often seen as playing catch-up on features found in Apple's existing operating system.

Product delays -- which are a fact of life in the high-tech world -- are uncharacteristic for Apple partly because the company usually avoids announcing expected shipment dates.

The Leopard delay, however, is the second Apple product to have its release pushed back since the beginning of the year.

Apple TV, a set-top box for streaming video and other content from computers to a television set, was originally slated for a February launch but did not ship until March 21.
