A guide to the latest uni-bin software for Apple can be found at http://guide.apple.com/universal/

 

Almost 500 applications are listed! It lists everything from official Apple software, such as iLife 06, to the lesser-known third-party applications, such as DragThing.

 

I'm glad to see a lot of people have been busy porting their applications. In the upcoming weeks, it will be interesting to see how the list steadily grows. Hopefully we'll soon see Final Cut Studio and Macromedia's suite listed.

 

In addition, if you go through their entire software guide, all applications now have the official "uni-bin icon" if they have been compiled for both Intel and PowerPC. You can go to their main software guide page, search for a certain product, and in an instant you will be able to tell if that application is available as a universal binary. If the "uni-bin icon" isn't there, you might have to wait a little while longer before that application is compiled for both processors. Until then, there's always Rosetta.

I take that list with a little pinch of salt.. I noticed Tiger Cache Cleaner is in there twice, for one thing..

 

actually it's pretty accurate. there are one or two duplicates (it's a search tool based list after all), but its' good. what DOES bug me though is that many of the links don't like to the unibins or anything useful from the manufacturer's website, so you have to go searching for files yourself (I'm talking open source here). but it's still a great list.
