Here's some good news and bad news. The good news is that everyone who wants an iPhone will get one late in June. The bad news is that you won't get the Mac OS X Leopard until October unless you're a developer.

In a statement posted on there official site, the Apple corporation said that there had to be some trade-offs in the development of the two products to make sure that one of them would come out on time. Apple says that it had to "borrow resources" from the OS X project to have them work to complete the iPhone on time.

Apple said that beta copies of the OS X Leopard will be given to developers on its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. This will enable the Apple developer community to test the new system and detect whatever glitches there may still be.

We'll keep you posted as the iPod/ Leopard journey unravels in the next few months.
