So, I joined the Apple Developers Program for IPhone and started creating a simple app with Flash CS5. It worked fine on my IPod but when I was going to upload it to app store I noticed that a version for the program you have to use to upload it doesn't exist for Windows. Using emulators is against the terms of use or policy or whatever, so I decided to buy a Mac (If nobody has another solution).

I really don't want to spend loads of money on it, I'm okay if the Developers programs work on it. It doesn't need to be extremely powerful or anything. (I just want it to be able to run the IPhone Developer Programs)

So I was wondering if an old Aluminum PowerBook G4 would work fine. Is it working fine or just old stuff that simply doesn't run any modern programs?

Any suggestions on Mac computers are appreciated. Thanks.

As far as I know, nobody I know have a mac.

I'm afraid they'll somehow notice I used a simulator if I use one (against the rules). Yeah I could try to go to an apple distributor, but I'm planning on doing more apps, so I guess I would kinda annoy them by asking them many times. I also think the Apple Developer Program programs are more powerful than flash for doing iphone applications (please argue). I know flash isn't the fastest car on the road and the Mac programs can obviously only be used on a Mac.

Does anyone know if the Aluminum PowerBook G4 is something to have or just junk?

Yeah G4 cannot run many newer programs, my mac mini G4 can't run much anymore...

Thanks for the replies.

LastGod: Are you using Flash to create applications? I'm using Flash to create applications and Itunes to move them to my IPod. The reaction rate when you click is kind off slow however, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.

I will test to install a Vanilla installation.
