Apple Update

Well, it looks like Apple is spinning its wheels a bit. The latest on the OS X Leopard builds is that development is slow and there are still bugs aplenty. I think this new OS will be pushing a late spring release. So much for any announcements at MacWorld 2007. And the iPhone. Rumors of this device have been floating around for more than two years now. The truth of the matter is that Apple has never designed and delivered a cell phone from scratch. Expect lots of bugs. Plus, Sony Ericsson makes a perfectly good cell phone/MP3 player with its W810i product. This device is extremely popular, at least according to CNET, and it doesn't have the DRM restrictions that an Apple iPhone would have. Something for Apple fanboys to consider. I think Apple will have a hard time repeating its stellar financial performance from 2006. Just a thought.
