They have. 10.4 took longer than any other upgrade to come out of the gate. It has a LOT under the hood that makes OS X a much better OS. Apple has said they're looking at 18-24 month cycles for future OS releases.

This will never happen for a variety of reasons, but mostly that the PDA market is stagnant.
Apparently everyone wants com combine everything into the cell phone, so we'll have a half-assed PDA, a half-assed camera, a half-assed MP3 player, a half-assed web browser, a half-assed video player, a half-assed game console, and oh, yeah, a phone...all in one bundle.

I'm sure they're working on them, but these are HARD problems to solve, and most of the work is being done by IBM at this point. I also suspect that a dual-core G4 is going to make a better laptop system than a G5.
