YOU GUESSED... a Mac...

Many developers see writting an iPhone app, putting it into the App Store for $.99 or something is a great way to make some extra cash. Apple does all the fullfillment, and you get a check. IF you get lucy you might have a runaway success and make a nice chunck of change.

The switch to Intel chips and the easy availability of VM software like Parallels, VM Ware and the free Virtual Box to still be able to run Windows apps on your Mac is helping alot too. (I say this as I type from my iMac.)

I read a pretty cool story about a guy who made a game for the iPhone on Apps, and now a year later is $400k richer. Sigh, I wish I had those skills.
