Top secret features suspect in Apple's Leopard delay

Saw that at MFI last week. Along with several other possibilities. Truth is, with Apple not telling, almost anything can be offered by the 'rumorists'. smile.gif We'll never know, unless Apple tells us or somebody who knows has "loose lips"! nono.gif

I'd bet on the second one. The question is, how soon will it leak out?

Looking at it from the company's bottom line, the iPhone has the potential for bringing in much more $ as long as it comes out on time. Leopard is important to Mac users (those who are not satisfied with what they are using now or need the latest, greatest) and a few potential switchers. But the impact of the iPhone and the concordant press exposure dictates that it must be out on time and full of all the features promised, if not more.

Krissel brings up a very good point.
Like the iPod, Apple can make much more revenue off of the iPhone than Leopard
so it pays for them to focus on perfecting the iPhone and delaying Leopard rather than perfecting both at the same time.
