There have been rumors for some time that Apple might be letting Snow Leopard out of the cage (sorry, had to) before September. Whether it’s a mistake or not, it looks like the UK Apple Store is confirming that rumor with a posted August 28th ship date.
That could mean the item ships on the 28th with delayed postage so you don’t get it until September, but that seems a little unlikely. It looks like you may see Snow Leopard on your porch as early as next weekend. A couple Engadget tipsters also pointed out that the US up-to-date program has a confirmed ship date of August 28th, despite the posted September ship date.
As you’ll probably recall, Snow Leopard is more a behind-the-scenes update than anything else, bringing all core apps up to 64-bit performance and adding that nifty three- and four-finger gesture functionality to pre-unibody Macbooks. My girlfriend is going to be so…oh wait, no. She doesn’t care at all.
