A few days ago, Apple made the big announcement that their Leopard operating system will be delayed until at least October due to pulling engineers from the project to go work on the iPhone.
This hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, but rumors are starting to pop-up saying that the iPhone could possibly be delayed as well from its scheduled June (11th?) launch.
An insider from the manufacturing company in Taiwan is saying that the design is not “robust enough” and that all of the software functions are causing the battery-life to be compromised.
A delay would be absolutely necessary if this is the case, because there’s really nothing worse than a phone with poor battery life. Especially an iPhone with a hefty price tag of $500.
Yet another reason I’m not jumping on this bandwagon yet!

Good to know, isn’t it?
Maybe Mac users will finally see that Microsoft isn’t the only one who delays products for quality purposes. Of course, Ubuntu just released their new operating system today which is the exact release date they predicted back in October! I guess they know how to plan.
