Oddly enough, after installing the SDK on my Intel Mac mini, I can assure you that the iPhone emulator at least is a Universal binary and does run on my own 12" PowerBook � although to do anything useful you need to install the whole SDK. I haven't on the PPC laptop yet due to lack of space. Not promising it will all be just fine though, just that there are Universal binaries in there instead of obviously Intel only stuff.
As for the big picture: Cocoa is Apple's crown jewels and the strategic significance of the SDK and AppStore can scarcely be overestimated. This is absolutely huge. Expect it to be looked back on as a crucial turning point for not only Apple and phones, but all high tech. Seriously, I anticipate great things!
