Recently I learned that the iPod comes with 32Gb, but almost 1Gb is used exclusively for the Touch capability. Many desktop PCs and perhaps even laptops come with 4Gb, especially the WalMart ones. It may take a very robust computer in order to run the touch layer on a Mac. Apple has always been known for superior graphics, however. Is the touch layer even affordable?

Subsequently, both of them use the Mach-O binary format. The Mach-O format specification requires that the CPU architecture is stated in the header. The reason you see that error is because Snow Leopard can only run Intel (x86/x86_64) binaries, or if you have Rosetta, PPC binaries. The iOS apps also use the Mach-O binary format. However, their CPU architecture is ARM, which Snow Leopard can't run as it isn't running on an ARM machine, nor does it have an translation layer such as Rosetta. As such, it gives the error message you see. If you were to compile any application for any other architecture and try to run it on SL, you would get the same exact message. iOS and Mac OS X all run a version of Darwin.

I wouldn't read into this at all. If you try to run an app designed only for Intel-based macs on a PPC (i.e. G5), the same error happens. I wouldn’t read into this at all.

Future Macs will probably run them natively in a touch layer is my theory. iOS is based on Mac OS X so really the iOS apps are Mac OS apps.
