Mac Mini ($600) - This has enough power to develop on and is relatively inexpensive for a Mac.
iTouch ($200) - Can't afford an iPhone and the expensive data plan? Just get an iTouch! The main features that are lacking are the phone (of course), and the camera. Also you will need to use WiFi to download and use applications that require Internet connectivity. The applications you develop however can run just fine.

Tools needed:
Laptop ($500) - First f all, yes you can find a laptop for this price. Discount stores like MicroCenter, and NewEgg offer great deals on laptops. I definitely recommend a laptop because it will allow you to write anywhere. This is especially important if you have a lot of distractions around you.
Open Office (Free) - If you can't afford Microsoft Office and your new laptop does not come with it installed, Open Office is a great alternative for your writing needs.

Joomla with DocMan (Free) - When signing up for your web hosting, make sure that it comes with Joomla installed.
