Put your left foot in and wiggle it all about

I'm starting to do some iPhone development. I've got a decent handful of ideas that I think I can implement well. My hangup had been that I'm still stuck on a PowerBook and the iPhone SDK only works on an Intel-based Mac. Well, make that "is only supported" on an Intel-based Mac. Some enterprising people have figured out how to 1) trick the SDK installer to install the iPhone frameworks and tools on a PPC machine, and 2) how to trick the compiler into compiling on PPC as well. So I can go ahead and dive in before I can scrape together enough pennies to buy a MacBook (or (be still my beating heart) a MacBook Pro).


Objective-C has some interesting quirks. Some of the format looks like C but mostly it looks like bastardized Actionscript right now (mostly because I've just come off a long Flex project at work). Onward and upward!
