Apple Delays; Too Much Secrecy?

Can't be too much joy in the land of Apple Computer with recent reports from PC Magazine and the Wall Street Journal.

Apparently, following a shift in suppliers, updated versions of Apple's iPod nano will ship in the fourth quarter instead of the third quarter, while the release of the wide-screen video iPod also may be pushed back from the fourth quarter into early 2007.

(Hate those product delays, especially at holiday shopping time.)

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal has a fascinating report about Apple's focus on product secrecy, even about its own employees and customers. 

Reminds me of a Silicon Valley saying: "Only the paranoid survive."

(Now who said that?)
