I've been curious about this lately and even though they're silent now, I'd hope to learn why there have been so many delays come launch time (may be a bit too hopeful, though). Focusing on the delay itself, it's important to realize that Apple has been putting out pretty solid releases year after year on time. To build major releases of software and hardware year to year, that takes an immense amount of effort. Hopefully the delays have no major effect on the device itself and the time that we've all spent waiting will be worthwhile. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
