AppleInsider is reporting that the latest Leopard build seems to be geared toward improving MobileMe syncing with portables under various circumstances. The build also includes the usual laundry list of bug fixes. As of today we've not heard of any timetable for the release of the next Leopard update. We'll keep you posted.

If you're at all interested in Cocoa, Snow Leopard, 64-bit apps, Carbon and that type of goobly-gook, AppleInsider is once again running some nice articles that even the tech-jargon deprived, yours truly, can sort of understand. It's good stuff actually and well worth the read.

One thing I didn't know (ok there are a lot of things I don't know) is that the iPhone is fully Cocoaized. Actually, I'd never thought of it's OS as being Carbon, Cocoa, Vista, whatever. It just is unless it's acting up and then it's a &#$%@!

AppleInsider is one of my favorite rumor sites and they also do a bang up job explaining the more technical stuff. Now go do your homework, er... reading for the evening. There will be a quiz tomorrow.

Appleinsider's Sam Oliver is reporting that Leopard 10.5.5 has been seeded to developers. It looks to squash more than a few bugs and weighs in at a hefty 330 Mb's. The report states the build, 9F13, comes with no know issues and focuses on maintenance and stability. Apparently there are tweaks to iCal, Mail, Address Book, the MobileMe Pref pane,  the BSD Kernel itself and more. 

I can't say that I suffer from any of the bugs mentioned in the article, so although I'm always ready to jump on just about any Apple update, this ones a ho-hummer for me.  No doubt those afflicted will welcome the update and you can be assured that as soon as its available I'll be installing it and reporting back here. I'll take the bullet for ya'll. 

Now would Apple please, pretty please, pretty pretty please, update iPhone 2.0.1? More on my iPhone 3G saga will follow in the coming days. Stay tuned!
