Yes. You compile the ARM code for the device on a different platform. For
example, on Windows I'd compile the ARM application and then transfer that
binary to the device to be executed.

Support *what* outside of the box? If you're talking about cross compiling,
then yes. It just uses GCCE, which itself is a cross compiler.

What is the difference between the iPhone and the simulator ? (I guess the

The simulator runs x86 code, which is why applications for the device and
the simulator must be compiled separately. We call it a simulator and not an
emulator for this reason.
