iPhone in Canada is reporting that Apple is set to begin seeding developer builds of Mac OS X 10.6.4, the next maintenance update to the company's Snow Leopard operating system, in the near future.

This week, in less than a month later since the last OS X release, Apple seems to be pushing forward with plans to update Snow Leopard. We have received reports that Apple is preparing to begin testing of the next main revision of Snow Leopard, version 10.6.4.

Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.3, the most current release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard late last month, after almost three months of developer testing. Apple's timeframe for Mac OS X updates varies, for example, Mac OS X 10.6.2 only had about a month of developer testing before being released to the public in November.
