They are not obselete, just slightly older. Developers make apps nowadays that will run on intel and Power PC just fine.
iBook, PowerMac, PowerBook = old Power PC CPUs, anything that has a Gx in the title is older.
Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro - new Intel machines
Mac Mini & iMac = both these machines have versions for PPC and versions for Intel. The iMac G5 was the last iMac before the intel transition, it looks identical to the iMac Core 2 Duo's you can buy today.
