TidBITS#875/16-Apr-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/875>

  The big news this week is that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard won't make its
  appearance until October 2007, so that Apple can focus on the
  iPhone. We have details and reactions from prominent Mac users.
  Apple also bagged attention by unveiling Final Cut Studio 2, which
  includes Final Cut Pro 6, Motion 3, Soundtrack Pro 2, Compressor 3,
  and a new application for video professionals, Color. Not to be
  outdone, Adobe announced that Creative Suite 3 is now shipping and
  made beta versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects available. We
  also note the AirPort Extreme N Firmware 7.1 Update and the Nisus
  Writer Pro public beta, plus look at some possible future
  technologies for batteries, displays, and networking. Lastly, can we
  have the car keys? TidBITS turns 17 today!
