[QUOTE="xstep, post: 968190, member: 11647"] I''m not sure why you would be getting the download problem. That isn't normal. Downloading the very latest isn't absolutely required. The tools come with the latest OS X release. If you buy a Macbook or Mac mini, make sure it is Intel if you buy used. The iPhone tools are not designed to work on the older Power PC processors, particularly the iPhone simulator. By clicking on 'About This Mac' under the Apple symbol on the menu, a window will appear with the processor information and memory information. For now I'm using the default text editor built into the XCode IDE. As nabl mentioned, you can set up XCode to use the editor of your choice. Emacs is installed in OS X, but there are a few nice third party editors available. Although automatic garbage collection has been added to Objective-C, the older method of retaining and releasing objects is used for the iPhone. Keep that in mind when reading about Objective-C 2.0.
