Apple's New iMac Desktop Won't Ship Until September

New York Times (free registration required): "Apple Computer Inc. said a new version of its flagship iMac desktop computer won't be ready until September, two months later than planned and well after it expects to run out of current models. In a statement, Apple said it had stopped taking orders for the current generation of iMacs and expects its inventory of these machines to run out in the next few weeks. 'We planned to have our next generation iMac ready by [this] time. ... But our planning was obviously less than perfect,' Apple said. 'We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.' An Apple spokesman declined to elaborate. The delay is another problem for Apple's computer division, which steadily has been losing market share. Apple sold just 1.7% of the world's personal computers in the first quarter, down from 2% in the first quarter of 2001, according to market researcher Gartner Inc."

This is just bizarre. Did Apple actually just reveal that it had fallen behind on a product whose very existence it had previously never acknowledged? My goodness, is our little company actually growing up?
