Yes you can simply by downloading your iPhone SDK to your Mac which 
gives you XCode and a simulator, but you must enroll and pay $99 to get 
a license key that will allow you to deploy your programs to actual 
hardware.

You can then work in Objective-C, or by buying Monotouch - 
http://monotouch.net/ - in C#.

I think you should try - I think you could do some very interesting 
stuff with the i on it (why else should they call it iPhone?)
