Indeed, but almost everyone took that to mean June of next year. Sort of like how we're saying we'll have it shipped by the end of the year, and everyone thinks that means December 31 :)
Hi Jon
Apple needed to give developers an approximate target date to get them moving while at the same time they needed to be vague enough so that their normal customers wouldn't think the Intels were imminent and ruin Christmas 2005 business.
MacWorld SFO 2006 was the obvious place to introduce them to avoid that cannibalization.
Apple ALWAYS surprises people with the quick release of new products. This is how they manage to avoid the Osborne effect during product transitions. And guess what, they STILL managed to surprise people with something they had already publicly announced 6 months earlier. :-)
I'm sure REAL Software will also follow their past history as they release their announced Cocoa and UB support. So I use that as a guide when interpreting their press release about shipping this year. :-)
