I am very interested in learning how to develope iPhone apps, but like several responders above, I work in the Microsoft environment. Is it possible to develope outside the Mac environment? Thanks in advance for your help, as well as the informative article you provided above.

dear ron,
it’s not had to develop iphone application if you are familiar with basic programming like C, C++ and object oriented concept. But you will have to purchase MAC pc as other systems are not supporting MAC os. I did some research on to develop iphone application outside Mac environment but i did not find solution till date. I will definitely share it once i get some solution.
