Think Secret, the apple rumor site, has posted a story about the apparent recent firing of the Aperture development team.

The development of Aperture had apparently been plagued with problems, and parts of the software got given to other development teams to “to fix as best they can.” So with the team now gone, many will wonder about Apertures future.

I doubt Apple will abandon this product, but my guess is that a new development team will have to sit down and have a long hard look at what can be done to make Aperture a true Apple quality product. Expect Aperture 2.0 to take a while; but when it comes, I’m sure it will be great.

– edit: After reading some comments from other sites, it seems that while the Aperture team has been disbanded, most of the developers were just moved to other teams, with just management being asked to leave.
