It’s not an easy task to make a mobile phone, and Apple seems to have some problems with it. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to get my hands on the iPhone. But not my iPhone, as I’ll wait for the iPhone 2.
In order to start shipping it ’till June, Apple is reportedly moving some if its Mac OS engineers to the iPhone project. As a result, next version of the Mac OS, called Leopard, will not be ready this spring, a time frame that Apple had reiterated several times over the past few months. Instead the new version of the Mac OS will be available as early as of October this year.
Analysts said Apple won’t see any revenue from Leopard in the third quarter, but revenue from the iPhone should offset that. Furthermore, Apple is primarily a consumer electronics company and its iPods have generated a lot of profit for them so far. In that sense, switching priorities should benefit Apple, as the upcoming iPhone has already generated lot of buzz and the company bets heavily on its new flagship product. (via: CNet)
