Apple conceded that it will be unable to release its next generation operating system in June as previously planned and now says it anticipates launching the software in October. In a statement released after the close of the stock market, Apple said its highly anticipated iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. "We can't wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is," Apple said. "However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price - we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our WWDC in early June as planned." Update: New Leopard screenshots.

Even more than that: take a look at anything in /System on Tiger/ppc, you'll find that nothing in there is a Universal binary; it's all PPC-only. Do the same on Tiger/x86 (assuming you haven't run Monolingual on it), and you'll find it's not Intel-only, but all dual-architecture fat binaries.
Quite an odd choice, really.
To those wondering about the stability of Mac OS X on Intel, be aware that Darwin has been available for x86 for as long as it's been available on PPC: it didn't run on very many hardware configurations, but those it does run on work just fine (and really, limited hardware configurations isn't exactly a concern for Mac OS X)
