Hi,

I have iPhone and would like to start developing apps; however, I never used MAC before nor am planning to get one. I'm used to PC (Windows). Is it possible or am I just out of luck. What should I do to go about developing iPhone apps using Windows?

Thanks
Tariq

not really. you could use vmware or you could install mac os x on your pc, which is possible and even legal if you buy a copy of mac os x afaik, but it's really just luck if it works or nor.

You are out of luck. It is not possible to run the SDK under Windows. If you really want to start developing iPhone apps, you will have to change your mind about running Mac OS. Only Macs do that in a supported and future-proof manner.

Emphasis mine since it is not legal - the SLA of Mac OSX states that it is only to be run on Apple hardware.
