Summary says it all.
Please also ensure it's good for PPC and x86. Source code might be useful. This is more urgently required due to bug999 requiring a reflash to bring the n800 back to life.
Moving to another component.

very similar request to bug 1013
Another possibility is to open the Linux flasher source code and development, allowing third parties to contribute and maintain the versions that Nokia is not providing officially.
In fact it's not a bug but an enhancement request to support more platforms. -> Changing severity.
According to http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-users/2009-June/013886.html Flasher 3.5 is available for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on x86. Confirmation welcome. This fixes half of this bug report - PPC still left, hence changing bug summary.
Upping severity and priority. This is as simple as checking a second box in XCode at compile time.
I disagree that this is a blocker - it does not block testing work (but as always, the difference between bug and enhancement can be really small). Anyway, if Ryan is correct it should be *really* trivial to provide flasher for Mac OS PPC.
I do not know Mac development environment myself well enough to know if PPC binaries can be built in x86 environment. If they can we can probably release PPC version as beta but if PPC Mac is needed for PPC binary builds this will go to the final.
Yeah, you could release PPC support as beta and ask the community for testing. If it's really as trivial as Ryan described this could also solve bug 1013. :-)

Just short update to add link to the generic flasher-3.5 documentation in case someone actually wants to test this PPC version. Read file "Readme_Maemo_Flasher-3.5_Beta.txt" from here: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php
