Mac OS X client for Oracle coming?

This is from www.gmsv.com <http://www.gmsv.com> from yesterday.

Oracle has embarked on an effort to develop client software that will connect Oracle database applications to workstations running Apple's new Mac OS X operating system
<http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2781381,00.html> . Noting that a production version of the software isn't likely to be ready until the end of the year, Bob Shimp, senior director of Oracle 9i database marketing, said the software still needs work. "The Mac client will provide programmatic connectivity to Oracle databases but will not provide any client tools (executables) such as SQL*Plus," Shimp told EWeek. "As such, it is not a full client like that on [Microsoft] Windows."
