The imagemagick suite of software comes with a nice utility called mogrify in a nut shell it does what convert does, but it does it to the files directly. The best part is, that is takes all the same arguments as convert.

Try simply doing:
mogrify -type jpg -resize 900 -quality 90% *.png

and all your PNGs will become jpgs

You could also do it the brute force method with convert:
for I in *.png; do
        convert -resize 900 -quality 90% $I ${I%.*}.png
        rm $I
done

I use the following script to convert a batch of images to a uqiform width
of 900 pixels.  It works fine ... but how do I need to modify it to do the
same task but also convert all the originals that are .png files to .jpg?

mkdir 900
find -type f -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -r -0 -ixxx convert -resize 900
-quality 90% xxx ./900/xxx
