wwdc sneak peek
Reader Mark's brother just sent over this pic of an "OS X iPhone" banner found on the WWDC show floor in Moscone Center. You can't really tell much from the shot (no 3G iPhone leaked), but it does look like iPhone will be a big topic next Monday—something we've known for a while. Crunchgear also found these shots by Gernot on Flickr which also shows OS X Leopard. Check those shots out in the gallery.

Forget the Psystar business—this Hackintosh is much more interesting. A member of the OQOTalk forum has demonstrated his OQO running a hacked version of Leopard. It takes over two minutes to load but it looks like it's all there, including such goodies as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, power management and sound. Check out the video to see a (blurry) demo of it in action from the dual-boot startup, including showing coverflow working in Finder and a Dashboard launch.

Apparently, the It's Time hack provides iPod classic users with a proper Leopard theme, complete with a usable dock and other added OS X inspired fun stuff, including a Front Row-esque Now Playing screen and Finder-styled progress bars. We haven't confirmed this one ourselves and the images certainly are rendered, but if you're up to nothing, try this one out and let us know how it goes. [It's Time via iPod Wizard]

updates
According to AppleInsider, Apple is already passing around the first builds of the Mac OS X 10.5.1 update. More extensive software testing will begin next week. While we don't have any specifics on the fixes involved, there are a slew of minor problems you can see on message boards that could be addressed...probably only to create a new slew of minor problems. We'll see how long the update takes to reach users, but all in all, this looks to be pretty quick turnaround from Apple on their first—let's not use euphemisms—patch for OSX. [appleinsider]
question of the day
Fry's has $10 off Leopard today for anybody who's not keen on getting their $10 from Amazon. Pick it up at 6PM and you get to bypass the lines at Apple stores. [Fry's]
We've been testing Leopard for over a day now, on multiple machines, and here are our full test notes and screenshots. The impressions below spare you the typical rehashing of features which you can get from our past coverage or Apple's website, and are focused on the nitty gritty details you'd find if you spent a long time poking at the big cat yourself.

It's still funny. Funny in that I want to cry kind of way. [Gadgetlab]
question of the day
The latest developer build of Leopard has a couple changes in the visual department that differentiates itself even from the WWDC build. Here are the notable changes:

Leopard's October release date seems like as far as an eternity and a day to the OS X Geeks. But they can get their preorders in right now on Amazon.
