Still in the keynote, here's some details for you. Ill post this later... Itunes podcasting stuff is killer for this. No doubt in my mind Apple will own the most important podcast client and podcast directory.
So now we know. I'm not sure the industry is shaking but there are implications. First, ler's clear up the facts.
1. Given history, this isn't a total shock. The former CEO of NeXT moved that platform from Motorola to Intel and there's a lot of NeXT in OS X. And that forner CEO is still Steve Jobs.
2. This isn't a clone play. No running OS X on your Dell. No running Windows on your Macintosh out of the box. I would expect over time hacks to abound to try and enable both.
3. It isn't a major shift as so much of the code has already been abstracted since the Power PC shift in 1994. Most, if not all OS X apps will just work out of the box.
Longer term implications are interesting. Apple won't be Intel's largest supplier but will be an important one. Also, remember that Intel makse chips for many other products, including those that go beyond the PC. This is only chapter one in what is likely to be a long tale

This is where I'm reporting news from Apple as it's available.
Apple's press release. "...plans to deliver models of its Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors by this time next year, and to transition all of its Macs to using Intel microprocessors by the end of 2007."
Paul Boutin at Engadget. "Not every application will be Universal on Day 1."
A couple of bits the others don't have. 
Tim Jarrett: "Makes me want to put those plans for a Mac mini purchase on hold."
MacInTouch report. "He really did it."
Watch the comments on this post, people are putting pointers there.
Brian Jepson is blogging it live. "Audible gasps from audience."
Just called Steve Gillmor, he's at Moscone. He's going to call me right after the announcement. It was so funny I could hear Jobs in the background.
Paolo is in Italy hitting reload constantly and wondering why he's still doing this in 2005. I can tell you a lot of people are doing that on this page. It's been refreshed over 500 times already and there's nothing here!
