Why Apple Delayed Leopard for the iPhone

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the next-big-things dept.

Ernest DeFarge writes "Apple recently announced that they've pulled several key programmers from the OS X 10.5 "Leopard" and assigned them to the iPhone in order to get it done on time. In doing so, they delayed Leopard for 4 months. Does that mean that the iPhone is more important to Apple than Mac OS? Or is it just capitalizing on the current state of Apple's fanbase?"

    I don't suppose the opinions stated in this blog post deserve much attention if the author can't be bothered to write the name of the company correctly.
