Want To Buy: Macintosh Computer

[Mar]

Ya they're the devil, I know. I need one to write an iPhone application on and none of my friends have one I can borrow. So I'm looking to buy one for under $500, doesn't have to be fast, just has to run the iPhone SDK. Doesn't matter if it's a laptop or not, I just need some sort of way to write iPhone applications. Thanks.

If its just for that, then just run it in a VM

Beauty, I'll check that out tomorrow, thanks. Kind of a pain in the ass to boot into Windows, then into a virtual Macintosh environment but I'd love to save some cash! Thanks.

Oracle VM works in Linux but I have never tried to get a OSX running....

I saw that already, it mentions something about needing to jail break any phone using the application. I also read something about needing an Intel processor, AMD won't work. Once I got into issue on top of issue I figured I would just buy a machine.
