Developing iPhone Applications on Mac OS 8.5

I am new to Mac and iPhone programming. I have a Mac with os 8.5 from a friend, can I program iPhone applications on this computer? If not, what should I do?

No, sorry. Developing iPhone apps requires an Intel Mac and Mac OS 8.5 is a PowerPC operating system, which means that any computer running OS 8.5 is not an Intel breadboard (required for the iPhone SDK).



Your best bet here is the Mac Mini, which retails for $ 599 on apple.com.

Ironically, the iPhone is probably faster than Mac OS 8.5.

You can program on any computer, but you need an intel based Mac to do iPhone encoding. I would highly recommend shelling out $ 119 for a snow leopard and / or a new Intel based computer. You can get a used mac-mini under 300 on eBay.
