Mac OS X Lion still caged

It had widely been rumoured that the iOS-inspired Mac OS X Lion would launch today (14/07 in the US), but now several blogs including MacRumors are backtracking a little and claiming we won’t be seeing it this week after all, pointing to the fact that Apple have only just called for developers to submit their Lion-compatible apps to the Mac App Store. Added to this, we note that the Mac App Store’s weekly refresh of header images and featured apps has gone ahead today without any sign of Lion. All we know for certain is that it will be out in July, but the wait is excruciating! We’ll keep refreshing and let you know as soon as it drops.

If you’re waiting for the white iPhone 4, it might just be time to reconsider how long you’re prepared to wait. Originally slated to go on sale at the same time as the black model and then delayed several times due to unconfirmed reasons, Reuters are now reporting that Apple have ruled out a release prior to Spring ’11 (Autumn ’11 in the southern hemisphere). An Apple spokesperson is quoted with an apology for disappointed customers, so it sounds like they have their facts straight. Are you waiting? What do you plan to do now?

iPad will not be available in New Zealand at launch

Well, this is turning into one rollercoaster ride. Since the initial excitement of the announcement we’ve been through lows and highs and here we are back on a bit of a downer again. Apple has this morning announced that the iPad will be available in the US from April 3rd, and some international territories in late April, but alas New Zealand is not among those locations which are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. Additional countries (of which we would hope we are one!) are scheduled to get the iPad ‘later this year’. Check out the full press release from Cupertino after the ‘read more’ link, and be sure to tell us what you think about this news and where you might be planning a special iPad-purchasing holiday to in the comments.
