How to develop iPhone applications on Windows

I see a lot of people asking this question.

The simple answer is you can’t. Not at the moment anyway, and there aren’t any signs on the horizon either. You wouldn’t expect Microsoft to allow Mac users to develop XNA games on the Mac would you? Of course, it would be nice. As a primary Windows user myself, I would rather be creating developing iPhone applications in the familiar Windows environment, but it’s just one of those things.

However, don’t be put off by the price of a Mac. The Mac Mini may not be as powerful the iMac or Mac Pro, but its cheap and you dont need much power if you are developing iPhone applications. A Mac Mini has more than enough horse-power for that. On top of that the iPhone SDK (software development kit) is absolutely free!
