If this is a hobby and you are not planning on releasing any apps to the app store, and you can tolerate the slow performance and don't care about running on real devices, then don't worry about it. However, if you are creating a business the it is essential to run on real hardware. Any low end Mac (MacBook Air 11", is my current favorite) will blow away any virtual machine.

I have a fairly simple app that runs fine on my iPad and iPod Touch, but has all sorts of graphic anomalies in the simulator.

Is Mac OS X in a VirtualBox VM suitable for iOS development?
The host is running Windows XP Prof SP3 and the client is running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.  

So ... I connect to the remote machine with a 15mbps of ADSL. Which ... I guess, got enough downstream. (~1.3 MB/s). The host machine got a 35mbps of upload. Which is again, fast enough to pump the data with max speed.  

All I get is like ~320-400 kbps transfer speed. That is really slow. Is there a way to speed it up?
