Just looking for some advice really, i've been using buzz touch to build Android apps for a while. I have never been a fan of apple or the iphones (i sell them and see sooooooo many with faults) but it's a market i would like to get into in terms of promoting my apps. So im looking into getting a developer licence but am also going to need to buy a mac to run the eclipse software on. It will be used purely for developing the apps and nothing else. Can anyone reccomend a cheap way of doing this and whats the ideal spec to go for? I dont even mind if it's second hand. Thanks Title Comments Just looking for some advice really, i've been using buzz touch to build Android apps for a while.

And it's portable to boot... Very small... Just need a Monitor Keyboard and Mouse..... You can pick up used ones very reasonable in the 250.00 to 350.00 range U.S. Dollars. New I think theyt go for as low as 499.99 If you dont need to code on the run then that may be the way to go.... Comments I have a Mac Pro. But, I hear the Mac Mini is a great little box to use.

Got it on Craigslist for $200. Just make sure it's an Intel-based one, and now the PowerPC one! Other than that, it's more than enough for your needs.
