[GPSNavX]

With the exciting or shocking news that Apple is moving to Intel there is some good news and some bad. The good news is GPSNavX will be offered in new "Universal Binary" format that will allow it to run on both Power PC Macs and Intel Mac's. GPSNavX is developed in platform indepenpent ObjC/Cocoa (unlike most of the other GPS apps that are ported from Classic and use the old Carbon API's). The bad news is that the drivers for USB GPS and the Keyspan USB to serial adapter will have to be ported by their respective companies (FTDI, Prolific and Keyspan) to the new Intel platform.

Time will tell if this is a good move for Apple. I think they are now pitting themselves against the low cost Wintel clone makers. It's just a matter of time before someone has OS X running on a Dell. So then the question becomes why pay extra for Apple hardware? Maybe that is the goal is to offer an alternative to Windows and Linux.
