Virtual OSX

I have been testing a new service called VirtualOSX. This service allows you to connect to a Remote a MacOSX Client that has XCode installed. To transfer file you could use FTP, EMail, or GitHub. 

See screenshot below of a session running in a Windows machine. It can also be accessed via any VNC client for iPad, iPhone, Linux, Droids and Mac clients. I have tested in my iPhone, iPad and Windows machines. Might be good for those of you who do not have a Mac or you want to develop using your iPad.

New Option: http://www.macincloud.com/ (not tested)
