Mounting clues point toward an August 28 release date for Snow Leopard, the next version of Apple's Mac OS X operating system.

Last week, reports circulated that Apple, which had promised to ship Snow Leopard sometime next month, would in fact launch the upgrade on Friday, August 28. Additional hints that have appeared since then further point to an early release for Mac OS X 10.6.

Late yesterday, Apple enthusiast site MacRumors noted that Apple's UK-specific online store briefly showed a ship date for the Snow Leopard "Up-to-Date" program as Aug. 28.
