I'm not 100% sure on this, but apparently in this thread there's a link to a development center to create iPhone apps that might not be dependent on the Mac OS.

The last post by Mark in that thread (post #9) seems to confirm that you need Mac OS to run the iPhone SDK.

Yeah, you need an Apple to do iPhone dev.

If you are interested in tinkering, the iPhone is totally not for you. If however, you are interested in something that has a brilliant design, then check it out.

The iPhone isn't strictly innovative in any way, because everything it has done has been done on something else first. Except perhaps the multi-touch screen on a phone, but that's not as big of a deal as people make it seem. It's even missing a few features that other phones have had for like five years, like MMS (picture messaging) and copy+paste functionality.

But one thing it does do well is presentation+ea se of use. The device is excellently proportioned and comfortable. The OS runs very well (far fewer crashes than I have with my WinMo 5/6 phones), and the apps look and work great. Also, the simple things are the thinks that really make the whole experience stand out. Like kinetic scrolling. The whole experience just feels natural, intuitive. I could give this "smartphone " to anyone in the office, and they wouldn't have much trouble with it, except for the syncing part (which I would help them set up initially). In fact, Apple doesn't even ship these things with a manual.

But the phone I'm currently drooling over is the HTC Touch Pro or the Touch HD. The Touch Pro is called the ATT Fuze in the US. I don't think the Touch HD has made it's way to any carrier over here yet.

The iPhone won't do file transfer using bluetooth either. You just use the bluetooth for calls and listening to music. No MMS either.

I could really go on and on about the missing basics in that thing.
Oh, and doesn't anyone know how to delete a song from it without connecting it to a computer and doing it from iTunes?

I would love to know the answer to this!

I ended up getting an iTouch a while ago from a pawn shop (right about the time the iPhone came out). I didn't know what it was when I got it... I just thought it was an iPod to play my MP3s. I spent 3 nights playing around with it and I have to say I really enjoy it even today. It replaced my PDA and my old MP3 player (that looked like a steel rat bit it).

Not possible. Except for "On-the-go" playlists, you have to use iTunes for all the content management.

kiosk touchscreen issue with IE6

Hi- I am QA'ing a kiosk application using IE6 and a touchscreen. If the user 'drumrolls' his fingers over multiple links very quickly the web page does not navigate and effectively freezes.
