I also do iphone web apps. I do dev on windows 7 using dw cs5 among other tools. I use safari desktop browser for fast testing, change user-agent and use the build in web inspector alot for fast finding css changes. After a while when i have greater update to my code i have an ipod touch and test it also there.Bottom line: Switch to the device! (see my answer to Sean's post).Sure - you can use a common Windows or Linux or whatever machine to develop your web-app, but you can't test it reliably there. And your development is worth nothing with a thoroughful test. a.

Then use it's debugger (which gives you the same errors as an iPhone would). Bottom line: don't switch.

The problem is that MobiOne, Safari (desktop), and the iPhone all produce different errors. Obviously I am most concerned with the errors that occur on the iPhone, since that is the target device. (An example of the type of error encountered is that an image that ordinarily appears as expected occasionally cannot be displayed, so the little question-mark icon appears instead.) I have the opportunity to obtain a Mac for development, but I need to know whether using a Mac will make a difference. Have any of you moved to the Mac for developing or just testing a web- only iPhone app? Is doing so worthwhile? Why? Does the iPhone simulator in the SDK simulate an iPhone better than Safari on the Windows desktop? Is there a reason I would need a paid subscription to the Apple iOS Developer Program?

If in the end your webapp code needs to be wrapped or rewritten with some sort of framework wich allows for installable app (like: phonegap, titanium,..etc) then you need a mac and you need to pay something for the developer program..
