iPhone development = Mac only?

[SunnyD]

In looking at the dev tools for the iPhone, correct me if I'm wrong please. There are two development "environments"... the official iPhone SDK from Apple along with their dev tools which ONLY run on Macs, and the unofficial toolchain which can be run on anything. The difference being the only apps that will make it into the App Store are going to be the ones made on a Mac right? Or am I missing something here?

You need a mac or a hackintosh.

Yeah, Google is mentioning a lot of that. However I'm confused as to what exactly I need to make it work, since I have an AMD machine.

I've been thinking about doing this myself.

I did, however I was hoping to be able to use a vanilla copy of the latest version of the OS. Though I suppose it doesn't really matter too terribly much.

Any idea if those instructions will work with 10.5 (Leopard)?
