There are ways to get around it, but those methods are not very good. I highly recommend getting a new Mac.

Short Answer: Yes, you need a Mac to develop for iOS.

Long Answer: If you a retail copy of OS X, a beefy enough computer and a lot of patience/tolerance for figuring stuff out using Google-Fu.

Here's a guide with the details on how to setup OS X as a VM.

Yeah I'd read up on it a while ago, nice idea if you don't have/want the hardware - plus accessible anywhere
