Well, there is a difference: there is only a marginal number of OSX users and the main platform used is Windows. I think Apple is just like Microsoft but much worse. They don't want to serve their customers, they only want to make money. Why else is the OS on iPhone so closed (even 2.0 has to be jailbreaked before it can be used) and do they try to enforce you to use iPhone with stone-age iTunes and expensive contracts. iPhone is my first Apple device and it is probably my last one as soon as there is a decent alternative with an open OS.
I tried to get SDK working on Windows under Cygwin. Lot of work to build. It seemed to work, I could create and compile an app without errors, but somehow it does not run on my iPod. I had a look at Ubuntu as alternative OS, but already at configuring it to work with my screens it gave me trouble so I did not proceed with that. So I gave up and am concentrating on developing PHP webapps for iPhone now. People will need to install Apache and PHP on their iPhone, but that is easy. The only problem is that you don't have GPS info directly, but people are working on that.
