one serious question:
you really need a MAC to run the SDK for them, don't you?
... I mean, no "skrew it"-sdk for win-PC?

If you 'jailbreak' your iphone there is an unofficial cross-platform sdk. But to make apps you sell through iTunes, yes you need an intel mac to run Xcode. Kinda sucks, but I just borrow a mac from a friend.

Same here, developing apps for iPhone. Kind of fun when you get the grip of Objective-C overhead...
Why don't you install Leopard on a partition on your PC? Works great!

So, we can't expect PureBasic for iPhone
Hm, what's about PureBasic for Symbion phones? Or another portable plattform?
I would select exactly the phone which allows me to produce my own programs on it easily!

Why not?
iPhone OS is Unix based and the SDK is based on gcc.

It'd be in violation of Apple's policies/eula/contract/whatever

What is the name of this cross-platform SDK? Is this what you used to compile for the Apple store? Is the code portable to the official SDK?

i think its caleld iphone-toolchain or something. i didnt look into it a whole lot. it looked fairly complex to set up and i wasnt very motivated since i have the official version.

Thal: probably never. I think it'd be way too laggy through even the wifi in the iphone.

Leopard runs on a standard PC? Interesting....
