RE[5]: Pretty darn amazing...

Web apps ? Let's be serious for a second there. There's only so much things which a bit of Javascript which is not backed by a robust internet connection and a powerful distant server can do, and it's nowhere near what native iOS software (or Java 2 ME software for that matter) is capable of.
It is quite a lot, I have written HTML apps, using JS and HTML and nothing else that are quite useful.
If the app has to connect to the outside you need network anyway ... so I don't understand the problem?

As for Hackintoshes, which you seem to suggest as an alternative to Macs for iOS development, I believe they do not count as a legal copy of Mac OS as far as Mac OS X's EULA counts. Don't know in which countries exactly this agreement is legally binding though.
