Mac Hardware for creating standalone for Ipad

[pkmittal]

Hi, I would like to create the app for IPad. What I have understood is that to create the standalone for iPad, I should have MaC OS and then only I can create the app for IPad. So what is the minium hardware requirement?

Is macmini sufficient enough to create ipad app?

Is there no specific requirement for Memory? Processor or MAc Operating system?

I read somewhere that we need atleast Mac OSX 10.7.2.. 1 GB memory is enough? Also let me know on which operating system and api it would work without any problems.

For example, Andriod standalone was not getting compliled on windows xp.. but i could make it work on windows 7.. I would appreciate if some one can suggest me the Mac OSX platoforms and the exact version of API I should try on.

thanks

Hi Pradeep,

don't start under 4 GB of RAM, 8 will be better if you can afford!

I bought me a new MacMini with 8 GB and a SSD in december and the SSD
is the best thing you can do to get a REAL speed bump!

The Mac boots in 12 seconds and even Paralells (VM) with XP/WIn 7 runs like
a real (physical) high end PC machine, that is really fun to work with!
