Don't get me wrong - if you are on a tight budget, a Hackintosh (if you can set it up) - is very usable. You might have to forgo some things, like working audio or wireless, but it will work well enough to develop iPhone apps if you have another main computer. Sadly, VMWare is impractical for anything serious, and XCode cannot run on windows.
