But this is basically because their system for developers is better. Apple has focused on making developers rich (with a great revenue sharing model) while other phones like the Google Android has focused on making Google richer. So if developers don’t like what Apple has to offer, they are more than welcome to take their skills elsewhere, although other avenues may not be as lucrative.

Can I develop iPhone apps with a Windows Vista Box? Will I be able to sell them on Apple’s Store? If not, what is the “cheapest” configuration of a Mac that I can get away with?

Thanks

No… There should be restrictions and guide lines…. I’ve been in the business for 36 years… IBM protected the machine language Assembler because it gave programers access to the kernel functions, or course, people complained that IBM was being restrictive.

I for one am glad someone is over-seeing the iPhone applications, I have high expectations of my iPhone as a tool that accesses the GSM network, and safe guards my data. I’m glad I don’t have to buy “tools” to verify that “hackers” haven’t figured-out a method to steal information, de-stabilize my GSM connection or high-jack my Mobile-Me.

I do have issues about people complaining about Steve Jobs / AT&T rights and charges. If you’re reading these notes, you obviously have an above average intelligence, and more likely are able to write applications for a career. No one forced an intelligent person to buy an iPhone, sign-up for an iPhone developer account, or spend your evenings and weekends developing code.

Look at the near thousand of FREE and for FEE application on iPhone… I would be willing to bet that if you develop a successful application and Apple feels the application is of value, and is well behaved, then you get paid, and potentially well paid for your efforts by the thousands of iPhone subscribers that purchase your wares.

I’m sure you or your company don’t want to be know as developers of code that purposely “CRACK” an iPhone or leak personal information into the wrong hands….
Unless that is your plan… To that I say what a waste of talent and resources…

Steve Jobs’s team developed a desirable and innovated mobile device… Does it do everything, have hundreds of megabytes of storage, is it wide-open, totally free, nope…
Nor would you if you had the talent and resources to build your own version of an iPhone.

Oh, by the way, I’m NOT kissing-up, and I don’t work for Steve or AT&T… I just want people to stop complaining so much and being so negative about any rules or guidelines that THEY didn’t create… Lets just look at the iPhone as current technology programmers can develop cool applications that people are willing to pay for…

Peace everyone…. Turn that negative energy into a new, well behaved application that makes you a successful application developer… and all those features and ideas… send them to Apple as well thought out design features, and you might make a positive difference.
