Ok, well yesterday I bought a Mac. $20 on eBay. The monitor isn't the best and the battery has to constantly be plugged in, but other than that its a pretty good laptop. It has OS X 10.2.8 and I was wondering if the iPhone SDK worked on it. I'm pretty sure it will but I don't know.
Thanks,
Logan :P

I'm fairly certain the iPhone SDK only works on OS Tiger (10.5). I couldn't get it to work on mine which was 10.4.5 unless I upgraded. Link us to the ebay item - I wouldn't mind reading more stats about it.

According to what I've read, you only need a minimum of 256Mb of Ram to run OS 10.4 (recommended 512) and that ebay listing says yours has 288 (wtf?). However, it looks like you purchased this model: Apple PowerBook G3 233 (Wallstreet) Specs (PB G3 Series/Wallstreet - M6477LL/A*) @ EveryMac.com
Which states the maximum OS version you can acheive is 10.2.8

Jordan: Its mainly the fact that the newer versions of OS X don't run on the old PowerPC architecture (Although the universal binary format still fully supports them) then the hardware requirements. Still, the difference between Windows Vista's requirements and OS X 10.5 is hilarious.
