Apple is delaying the release of its new computer operating system--code-named Leopard--until October because it has diverted software development resources to the eagerly awaited iPhone. The company
says iPhone is on schedule to ship in late June, as planned, after passing several of its required certification tests.
Tim Bajarin, an analyst with Creative Strategies, says the delay
in Leopard could slow the pop in sales that normally comes from die-hard Apple computer fans, who will now likely wait to buy new computers.
Leopard is expected to boast new features,
including a file back-up feature called "Time Machine" and improvements to its e-mail and instant messaging software. Another feature allows users to move from their standard desktop view to an
archival view, showing every change made to a particular file.
