Phone development help!

[kong288]

Hello. I don't know where to post this, so I guess here will do! Where can I get started on phone development? I want to do iOS, but I have a PC, so I don't think that's possible.

Second chose would be android. Any help there? I would love to use only C++, not C with C++ or anything like that. If that's possible.

Thanks!! I grant +1 for helpers!

For Android I would start here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Does C++ even have a +1 feature?

I don't think iOS apps use C++ it's Apple's own language, but I may be wrong.

I don't have any iOS programming experience, but from what I've gathered you need to use Objective-C for UI stuff and you can use C++ for core stuff. There's also a language called Objective-C++ which may be worth looking into. Again, I believe this would be just for the backend stuff. I may be wrong about all this so if somebody has some experience with this then please feel free to correct me.

Also I would recommend starting here:

It's possible to program for iOS without a Mac using a "Hackintosh"

though you'll need to "jail break" your device to run the code you've written. Either that or find a cheap (read: refurbished) Mac computer.
