“Our man with his finger on Cupertino’s pulse says Leopard’s tracking for an April release, and is now all but confirmed for the NAB event,” T3 reports.

It’s EXACTLY like selling illegal drugs.
Wait and see is what I say. When Apple does release it we will know.

Morgan Fairchild??

Well, now i clearly see the reasons for the delay of Leopard
i asked my source, who subsequently threw some chicken bones onto the floor of his waddle and daub hut, and according to the bones it’s…
april: new hardware & nab apps
may: 10.5
june: phone
july: the month you bum out bc you didn’t buy aapl at its pre-split of $95
aug: ditto
sept: new macbooks
oct: touchscreen iPods
I know I’ll take some flack for saying this, but until Steve unveils some more features that I can use on my powermac, I don’t see a need to buy leopard at all, no matter when they release it.
“i asked my source, who subsequently threw some chicken bones onto the floor . . .”
You know Rob Glaser?
Apple has announced a special event for NAB but there is no mention of whether SJ will be on hand. I don’t recall him ever showing at NAB. If he doesn’t show up, neither will Leopard.
I’m sure the event is for the newest version of Final Cut. WWDC is much more likely for Leopard. It’ll still be spring.
NAB is for the launch of Final Cut Studio and maybe a new Mac Pro. You definitely won’t see Leopard’s launch at NAB.

I can’t believe that they’d do a rollout of one of their major products at an industry specific show. People at NAB want a few things, Final Cut, Computers to run Final Cut and that’s about it. It attracts people that are looking for those things, and it really doesn’t attract people looking to be Wowed by anything else. Accordingly, if Apple’s marketing machine wanted to Wow everyone, why would they choose an event that doesn’t generate publicity across all industries. That just seems stupid, and I have to believe that T3’s source is Pete Mortensen over at Wired, who keeps jawwing on and on about how he thinks Leopard will be released at NAB.
It’s just silly…like unveiling the iPhone at Musicmesse.
It’ll get it’s own special event, and the event will also show off iLife and iWork 07. None of these items fit in at NAB, and all of them deserve a media extravaganza – (at least, according to the Apple hype machine).
it’s just hogwash.
T3 is a pile of crap. If they told me that night follows day, I’d double check for myself just to be sure.
Yes, I know that it’s a rumour, but there are rumours that are within the realms of possibility and then there’s this.
Apple isn’t going to release Leopard at NAB, however Apple may announce Leopard’s street date at NAB.
I would be hard pressed to believe that Leopard doesn’t get at least demoed at NAB.
