Anyone looking for proof of the strategic importance of iPhone to Apple doesn't have to look beyond Apple's press release page — the company is delaying the next version of its Operating System, code-named Leopard, by four months, and instead shifting resources to iPhone, now slated for late June 2007 release.
. . . The future of Apple is devices. Non-computing consumer electronic type devices are much less powerful than traditional computers, and need programmers who are thrifty in their code and skillful enough to squeeze the very last pico-hertz of performance out of lower-power embedded processors.
Ugghhh! Spare me.
Anyone looking for proof of the strategic importance of iPhone...
Then where were the resources for it from the beginning? And why were critical resources pulled from the OS department causing a delay in the release of Leopard? This was just a bad move on Apple's part and as a result is drumming up more criticism and worry than praise for the iPhone.
My opinion is clearly biased and I have no qualms about disclosing that. I didn't upgrade to 10.4+ and since Cingular/AT&T is my mobile provider I am eagerly awaiting the launch of iPhone. However, unless the iPhone will work on 10.38 the launch of the iPhone will be more of a dud for me until 10.5 is released.
