I'm thinking of buying an iPhone but I see that the Mac OS system requirements are for OSX 10.5 or later. I'm currently running 10.4.11. How will this inhibit my use of the iPhone? Do I need to upgrade to 10.5; this will mean a new computer as mine is a pre Intel m/c, ugh!:Confused:

Yes. iOS 4 will require iTunes 9.2, which requires OS X 10.5.8+. so ATM i think you are out of luck :(

No, he's not out of luck at all. All he has to do is upgrade to Leopard, which his machine probably supports. LEOPARD (10.5.x) is fine on both PPC and Intel Macs; SNOW Leopard requires Intel only.
