I am actually concerned about this too. My Power PC G5 running leopard is my only mac desktop with the hard drive space to manage my appleTV video's I fear for the days when apple stops keeping iTunes alive on that platform. It's the last holdout and I want it to stick around at least for awhile yet. I was really disappointed when apple cut Safari support, I can't even run an up to date web browser now because of that... That's all I want, safari and iTunes to stay current on PPC for one more OS release cycle.
Got a tip for us?

which is sad. because apple still supports the 10-year-old Windows XP, but not the 4-year-old Leopard. when you think about it, it's quite outrageous.
You can still buy a brand-new computer that comes with XP. You have not been able to do this with Leopard for two years now.
Greetings,
I know that at sometime before I read about possibly being able to make custom SMS tones. Is that still in the current beta? Or was I just Trololol'd?
Thanks!
PS: I want to see the new phonelol
It sure is still there
I currently have my text tone set as a short 'in' joke from an old radio show I used to listen to over here in Australia. You just create and sync your custom text tone the same way as you would a custom ringtone and select it under Settings > Sounds > Text Tone. You can also now use any of the standard Apple ringtones as your text tone (there are some pretty nice new ones in iOS 5 as well)
There is still a valid reason to run Windows XP. There are very few for Leopard or earlier.
I am hoping this new iWork for iOS will also come with an announcement for iWork 11.
Anyone else not able to install the iWork betas? Whenever I try, my iPhone says that Keynote wasn't able to be installed. I'd really like to try iCloud (and yes, I'm a paying developer).

Yeah specially on mp3 encoded files. I tough that my ssd was corrupted but in quicklook they sound just fine. And sometimes iTunes just randomly skips mp3 songs (specially 10 minutes long ones).
When you think about it, it's really less than 4 years... 10.5.8 is like 2 years old. A bit more.

Gee, solid logic. Btw.. you can't buy a new Mac with Snow Leopard, either, yet I imagine it's supported.

Leotard? Are you twelve?
A lot more people use XP than Lion. By your logic, it shouldn't be supported.
