Keep in mind that just on the 21st of September, a new preview seed  
of Leopard was released to (paying) developers outside of Apple.  
Nobody knows if this will be the last preview version of (because of  
problems that get discovered) additional preview releases are  
required. And then, once a final version has actually been reached,  
it'll take some time to get the product to manufacturing and then  
distributed to all the local Apple Stores and dealers. While I don't  
know how much time that process alone would take - given that Apple's  
not really at that point yet anyway - I wouldn't be surprised if the  
public release date slips a further bit and October isn't quite a  
realistic goal.

Just wild guesses from my side, however - since Apple's about as  
secretive as ever about the actual Leopard release date, you might  
actually hold a copy in your hands in a week or two - or only in mid- 
November. Nobody knows for sure. ;-)
