You can do Android development on a Linux/Windows/Mac box, and iOS development on a Mac box.

Only reason i want to do that at this stage is so that i can run the xcode simulator and see the changes i make when making an app with 1.5v. This will help explore the features of 1.5v and understand them better. Im one of those people that learn better by messing about with things if that makes sense lol.

Just wanted to make you aware that Apple frowns very much on using anything other than an actual Mac. And, from what I hear, it can be difficult to set it up. If you figure out how, maybe you could write up a doc? And it would have to be one that doesn't involve downloading an illegal copy of a Mac OS X image, of course!
