1001: great desktop flickr client that got me worried.

1001 is the most fully-featured Flickr application on a Mac Desktop, and of course it's free. (If you haven't got a Flickr account, you don't like pictures!).

Download it because it's really worth it. Of course, when you just wanna upload some pics, you're better off with Flickr's own lightweight Uploadr.

But at the same time, it worried me that the later versions of the app, constantly updated, have been released as two separate files. A PPC app and an Intel app. No, the Intel app is not Universal Binary, it won't run on PPCs.

I am worried about this because this may mean that it might be easier, on some cases, to write another version for Macs with Intel processors. If this is true, how long until PPC arcjitecture is completely abandoned?

Most of you remember how quickly Apple stopped caring for Mac OS 9.x, even though OS X was still very imature.
