Toast Titanium 7.1
Roxio released an update to their flagship CD and DVD-burning software for Macintosh this morning. Version 7.1 is now a universal binary and provides fixes with issues related to Quicktime 7.1, AppleScript, the Toast Setup Assistant, and encoding Apple Lossless files.There aren't too many more applications on my Intel iMac that are not universal binary. The Adobe CS2 suite and Microsoft Office, of course, are the two outstanding holdouts. Virtually everything else has been updated to work natively on an Intel iMac. What other applications are you waiting for?

I work for a University and the one thing that my department is waiting for is Matlab to go universal. Hopefully we will know something by Aug.

InDesign CS is my big "wait for it". I use Illustrator and Photoshop sometimes, but not enough to make me wait.
Filemaker Pro is my other mainline program.
(Beyond that, I mostly use TextEdit, Mail, and OmniWeb. Nowadays GarageSale as well. And just about everything from BeLight Software.)

Adobe apps. I don't use Office because it has been replaced by Pages and Neo Office.

Agreed with George on Office alternatives, though I mostly use TextEdit for bare bones typing. For letters, I use BeLight's Swift Publisher, and for opening most stuff from clients I use NeoOffice, which is spot-on (I've found) for opening most Word & Excel apps. Keynote opens PowerPoint great.
My only complaint about NeoOffice is that it's really Windows 95 ish. Ugly as sin, but it gets the job done.

I'm waiting for Autodesk to release a Universal Binary for Maya. I don't want to run it on Bootcamp (buy Windows XP pro sp2? Pfffft, whatever) :( Anyone have the inside track on when Maya is going to be Universal?

I'm waiting for NTI Dragon Burn to go Intel native. If only Toast could make multisession DVD's like Dragon Burn.
If any TUAW readers know how to burn multisession DVD's in Toast please add a comment here :)

I'm not letting it hold me up (My Macbook is shipping today!) but Native Instruments is taking some time to get their UBs out the door, with rollout starting in "3rd Quarter" and lasting through the end of the year.

I've been holding out purchasing Toast until a universal binary update. Where can I purchase this cheap? Is there a student discount?

I'm a full-time FileMaker developer, and well, that's what I'm waiting for.

I'm waiting for a version of Toast to come out that doesn't involve Roxio merrily stiffing existing owners with the worlds most insulting discount scheme and an online store which shoves in a CD copy to your basket when you order the downloadable system....

Studiometry. (RealBasic hasn't shipped the ability to create UBs yet.)

Toast 7.1 is much faster than 7.0.2 on Intel hardware. It launches in one bounce instead of fifteen (!), for one thing. I haven't tried any video conversion stuff yet, but I have high hopes.
Apart from Proteus, I think I now have Universal binaries of my most-used applications now.

I am a website designer and need Dreamweaver 8 to go Universal.
I hope it happens soon.
Of course, I am also waiting on Adobe for Photoshop.

I just ordered my MBPro today, so I guess I'm not waiting for much. As long as Unison is UB, I'm good (oh wait, i shouldn't discuss that part of the internet)

Snapz Pro X! The delay of the UB of this app is frustrating. The big bummer is the current version of Snapz Pro X is not compatible with the Intel Macs AT ALL.
Come on Ambrosia...

@#14.. I Just used this new Toast to encode something that usually took 9 hours in 7.0.2, in about 1.5 hours.. (MBP 2.0Ghz, 2G ram)..
I'm just waiting for Oracle to come out with native OCI libraries now.. I'll be waiting a LONG time i'm sure.
