I need to view some of PVRTC-compressed textures from iPhone application (*.pvr) on OS X.
Is there a viewer or format converter?

A:
The easiest solution I've found is to run Imagination's PVRTexTool for Windows using Darwine (now WineBottler).
Edit: As gmaclachlan points out, the PVRTexTool zip file now includes OS X versions of both the command line tool and the GUI (which runs under X11); so you no longer have to mess with WineBottler.
You'll need to register as an Imagination developer before you can download PVRTexTool (it's free).
Once you set it up, it's pretty painless and it gives you a decent GUI for working with PVRs.

Works great with CrossOver as well. Thanks!

There's a Mac OS version of this tool that runs under the X11 environment (optional install with Mac OS) and there is also a quicklook plug-in here: http://www.limbicsoftware.com/quickpvr.html It's more convenient, but not quite as accurate.
