Well you can use a PPC Mac to run Xcode for iPhone, and debug your  
code using the simulator but it won't create the binaries for the  
iPhone or iPod touch. I am ding that right now, waiting on my new  
Intel Mac to get here. So basically you can't load your code on the  
iphone without an Intel Mac.
