1) Any desktop computer running Safari 3, FireFox 3, or Opera 9.5 or later will do. IE won't work.
2) A good CSS/_javascript_ framework that mimics the iPhone UI. (I use iIU, and there are several other.)
3) A web site you can upload your test program to.
3) An iPhone for final check-out.
You'll write your app using the framework and debug it on the desktop computer first using the browser. If you use FireFox, you can use Aptana's Firebug to debug the _javascript_. Once you've got the app working properly, you'll put it on the web site and access it with the iPhone. Now you have to fix the event-handling due to the gestures interface, plus clean up the UI for the smaller screen. Hint: don't used fixed positions for widgets because someone is going to flip the iPhone on it's side, and change the orientation of everything. The frameworks can help you with this.
For iPhone SDK development:
1) An Intel-based Mac with 1 GB of RAM or more, running Leopard 10.5.4 or later.
2) Register as an iPhone developer at the Apple website.
3) Download the iPhone 2.1 SDK. (It's free, but it's nearly 2 GB in size, so have a good Internet connection).
4) Develop and run your app in the iPhone simulator.
5) To actually sign an app so that it can run on an iPhone, you need to spring for a $99 developer fee.
Note: You can get the iPhone SDK to install and run on a PowerPC Mac if you hack the installer script. However, if you use and Intel-based Mac, you can also write mobile apps for Android. :) I'm just getting started on the app side of things, so can't offer much more advice on this.
