Apple ipod

operating system is best for the development of applications for the iPhone?

Good morning. Recently, I have a lot of development interest Iphone. Yes I am a beginner in this new field. Friends of mine recommended buying a MacBook, but I found the Macbook is so expensive, and I decided to use my old PC that is Intel. I can use my PC and install Apple OS (I have heard that this is possible) and running. My PC is Pentium 4 with 2 G, 80G HDD. This is probably sufficient, but need his advice. My questions are: 1. Is this a good PC specification for developing applications for Apple (iPhone or iPod)? 2. What operating system is best? All advice from you, Apple geeks are welcome. Thank you.

You can develop an operating system or applications Apple Leopard Snow Leopard. You can install on a PC, but it is illegal. It takes a lot of money to develop applications. You must have a developer account with Apple is a few hundred dollars. This is not just people not something in their spare time. This is a major commercial enterprise.
