Development hardware requirements
Hi there
I am a windows/windows mobile developer and am being lured into the Mac/iPhone arena. I am very excited about this but as a complete novice in all things Mac and iPhone I need to make sure that I get the right kit.
On the SDK download area it refers to a minimum spec of Intel-Based mac with OSX10 Leopard. From scouting eBay for a cheap iBook or MacBook it seems that this narrows my choices down a bit. Can anyone shed some light on the following differences:
1. Leopard vs Tiger vs ????? (and which are compatible with the iPhone SDK)
2. PowerPC vs Intel vs ????? (and again which are comptible)
As this is (at this stage) an evaluation of the development system I want to keep costs down so I'd prefer to by a mac (laptop) for about £200-£250 ($450) but obviously need to make sure that I get one that is compatible with the iPhone SDK.
Thanks for your help and I love the video tutorials!
Paul
