    I think your only option would be to buy a Mac Mini..But I'm not 100% sure.

    well yes all that is possible, thereoratically, BUT if you want your app legally on the app store, yes you do need a mac, but you can build it on a PC

    Wasn't Adobe talking about adding "export to iPhone" for flash that creates self-contained iPhone apps? I'm pretty sure I saw that on Engadget like 3 or 4 months ago.

    Adobe CS5 will have the ability to create iPhone apps. I'm pretty sure this will be across platforms. From what I was reading (a while back) several iPhone apps in the app store already have been developed with Flash CS5. I was trying to get into the CS5 beta but they decided to skip right over it to get it out on the market sooner. Of course, you have to know Actionscript to be able to do anything really cool in Flash. It'll be interesting to see what kind of shake ups this will bring.

    As long as the people with CS5 are making games with the iPhone in mind, and not just porting PC games then I'll be happy enough.

    I plan on using CS5 for ground up development. I think a lot of Flash developers will see this as a new market with incredible potential. That being said...there are some games out there that I wouldnt MIND seeing ported over.
