Hmmmm? It depends on who they ask about trade offs and making right
decisions? Great that a few rich kids will be able to buy a neat phone that
most of us can't afford and a certain segment won't be able to access. I
think more of us want Leopard!

Apple Statement
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. While
Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the
quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now
plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the
conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their
final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth
the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've
made the right ones. [Apr 12, 2007]
