19 November 2008 10:04 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

It seems Apple has mistakenly revealed the timescale for the launch of its next operating system.

Apple's director of engineering of Unix Technologies, Jordan Hubbard, showed the expected date for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in a slide at the Large Installation System Administration Conference.

Snow Leopard is apparently scheduled for release during the first quarter of 2009.

When Apple first previewed Snow Leopard at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2008, it was stated only that Snow Leopard would ship "in about a year" from the announcement.
