Totally agree with the author here. Being primarily an Android developer I hate when I need to get access to a Mac to anything iOS related. Phonegap Build solves this problem. I work for avocarrot.com and I managed to do a Phonegap wrapper of our iOS SDK with the build service only using my linux machine.. Pretty awesome!

If you want to install the phonegap app on your ios device for tests and later publish to the app store you still need a mac.

Well, I saw some people creating the certificate with openssl on windows, you should in theory be able to use this for device testing
