Apple only pushed Leopard back a few weeks ago, and confirmed the iPhone shipping even more recently when they released their quarterly earnings.

This morning, an internal memo was sent to some Apple employees saying that both the iPhone and Leopard had been pushed back again. The iPhone was allegedly delayed until October and Leopard—previously delayed from June to October—was now delayed until January.

Certain sources appear to have also gotten wind of this "news," but apparently did not wait for the alleged press release that was to come with the announcement. Here's a tip guys: When the memo says there will definitely be a PR to accompany the "news," wait for the PR.

As it turns out, the internal memo was (apparently) a hoax. Apple sent out a followup memo to its employees saying:

You may have received what appeared to be a Bullet*News from Apple. This communication is fake and did not come from Apple. Apple is on track to ship iPhone in late June and Mac OS X Leopard in October.

According to Apple, both the iPhone and Leopard are still on track to ship as previously expected. Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Also, for the people claiming Engadget should be held liable, get a clue. Unless they published the story knowing it was false,with the intent of harming the stock (especially if they planned to buy or short the stock), then they did nothing wrong.

I don't see people complaining every other time a "rumor" is posted. If it's a rumor about a wide screen iPod, people cream their pants. This isn't the Wall Street Journal, and people who take every word published on a blog at face value have no one to blame but themselves.]]>May 16th 2007 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/
If "news outlets do this stuff all the time," then why did it arouse such extended breathless discussion on countless other business news outlets? Are those other outlets envious (which wouldn't surprise me), or is it that they recognize lax, or perhaps even unprofessional, editorial policy when they see it?

I would remind you of R. Foster Winans, once a writer of the WSJ's "Heard on the Street" column, who used his information-gatekeeper position for personal investment profit. For his trouble, he won himself about $1,000 less than his annual salary and 15 months in jail on 59 counts of securities law offenses. Clever conspiracies may be hatched and executed all the time, but, in the interests of people who trust their hard-earned money to others to use wisely, said conspiracies must be discovered and prosecuted.

Also, please keep in mind that engadget's original story was presented as a report based on surreptitiously obtained evidence provided by a reputedly reliable source, not as a rumor heard informally from someone who might sorta know.

Finally, for those who hold Steve Jobs as their personal Satan, here's some grist for your conspiracy mill: engadget is owned by AOL, which in turn is owned by Time/Warner. T/W's CEO Richard Parsons said recently at NAB in Las Vegas, ""The Googles of the world, they are the Custer of the modern world. We are the Sioux nation..." Does Chief Sitting Dick (a moniker offered merely as an entertaining term of endearment), in his apparently grandiose and romantic visions, spy Apple down in the Little Big Silicon Valley riding beside General George Armstrong Google? And if he does, then did this little news item effectively serve as his virtual first arrow of an ensuing grand and glorious battle?]]>May 17th 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/May 16th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/16/iphone-delayed-until-october-leopard-delayed-again-until-januar/
