Leopard represents the next version of Apple’s Mac OS X operating system, for which’s release the famous American company has given an October deadline. Apple has announced in April that it delayed the new version of the popular operating system for an October launch because it shifted its programmers to iPhone’s development.

However, as the release date is coming the web sites have started to offer contradicting reports about whether Apple will be eventually able of launching Leopard in October. Some web sites have reported that Apple Inc. has already finished Leopard and it is now preparing it for the release, while other web sites have reported that Leopard is still being developed.

AppleInsider has said that Apple Inc. has finalized this week the new version of the popular Mac OS X operating system. The web site has also added that the company has already started to prepare the training materials for the technical support staff, which means that the company will meet the deadline it has given in April.

On the other hand, according to another web site that focuses on Apple and its products, MacRumors, the company has been said that it still working on its Leopard operating system and that this one has not been officially declared done.

In the recent days, however, many other web sites and blogs have cited different unnamed sources that have pegged the 26^th of October, as the Leopard’s release date. On the other hand, Amazon has listed the release date for Apple’s new OS as the 31^st of October. Leopard can be already pre-ordered from Amazon, which has priced it at $129.
