Well that solves that issue. Thanks for the insight. I had missed that part (but then I hadn't really studied the web site all that closely yet). It's still a potentially nice option for those of us who don't have a Mac and can't afford one.

I have been seriously kicking around the idea of kicking off a open source project similar to game salad. However if I decide to do this, which is looking fairly likely, I am going to shoot for full cross platform right out of the gate. That would include mac, windoze and linux using a mix of python, wxpython and compiling against cocos2d for iphone functionality. You would still need a a account to publish from but the compiler server would send the binary, copy of the xcode project complete with source.

This may also be an alternative - http://www.macincloud.com/

Not sure though - I considered it for a bit, then just got a mac - so I've not actually tried it
