How I am using VMWare 
Sunday, October 26, 2008, 10:01 PM - Software
Posted by Administrator
My primary development system is a Windows PC. Most of my art tools, like 3D modeling, and texture generation, is WinXP based. The Mac that I have access to, is not always available and is not so conviently located on the other side of the building.

So, in steps vmware.

(for the rocord I have an actual, legitimate install disks for Leopard)

I am able to compile and test using the IPhone SDK and IPhone Simulator. USB does not work, so using it to debug on actual hardware will not work, which is where the REAL Mac comes in.

Since releasing developers of the gag order via their IPhone developer NDA, Apple apparently has added forums to discuss IPhone development.

https://devforums.apple.com

The forums are only available to paid IPhone developers
