It is 00:21 on the 26th of October 2007 as I write this. All Apple whores rejoice, today is Leopard day, the long awaited release of OS X 10.5 will be over @ 18:00 tonight.

Apple have had a great year with the introduction of the iPhone, the iPod touch, and increased Mac hardware sales above projection, now with the release of Leopard, it’s ease of use, simple but powerful built in backup with Time Machine, things can’t get much better.

But wait, how about a celebrity endorsement, from a lovely young lady with a new tech podcast to help us all out, yep, that will provide the final push to help Apple take over the UK home computer market, probably.

So, without further ado, get yourself over to Byte Me TV and check out episode 1, where Keeley Hazell wrestles with the choice between a PC or a Mac with the help of Byte Me TV resident puter guru Gary Schwartz .

It’s a tough choice, with well constructed arguments on either side of the question, but Apple just about swings it, welcome aboard the Mac bus Keeley :O)

Apple today announced the release date of their latest OS X iteration 10.5 Leopard on 26th October 2007. Apple have updated the Mac OS X page to include a countdown and more details on the highly anticipated upgrade to their operating system.

So now to decide whether to watch the early adopters struggle with application incompatability and wait for the first updates to fix, or whether to throw caution to the wind and go for it on release day. Probably the latter as I am such an Apple whore!

I am watching MacRumors Apple WWDC (world wide dev conf) updates to see what new Apple gear I can spend my hard earned money on, this is indeed a new low. I will of course later be mooching about for a webcast of Steve Jobs keynote to see what the “secret” features of the new OS X Leopard are.

I will then go shave my head and paint myself green. I am an Apple whore.

UPDATE: OS X Leopard looking very nice indeed, have a look October can’t come soon enough, hopefully they’ll get the iPhone out in Europe by then as well.
