Why in the world has Apple not compiled this as a Universal binary? So much for Apple's PowerPC Mac commitment. :-(

Is that because there are no iPhones with PPC processors?Thursday, March 06 2008 @ 04:16 PM PST

Just but an Intel machine, for crying out loud. What next? "Why don't they make it for System 9?" Maybe you should support Apple the way you want them to support you?Thursday, March 06 2008 @ 11:19 PM PST
Leopard doesn't run on PPC - bdkennedy1
The SDK requires OS X 10.5.2 which the PPC doesn't run on.Friday, March 07 2008 @ 03:23 PM PST

Not Universal Binary!? :-( - James F.--2008
Because Apple would have to do lots of hardware debugging and make different versions for PPC and Intel (memory registers etc).Since they seem to have rushed this, I'm not blaming them too much, but yes, it sucks.
