Another solution, but again is not possible to compile without a Mac, is Haxe: http://gamehaxe.com/2009/05/22/haxe-on-iphone-simulator/

You can develop and write for the iPhone on linux, but there is no way to compile it to an iPhone app and/or check if your code is working properly.

You'll need a mac for that or MonoTouch as said above.

If you want to create games, you can use Unity 3D but that also is not free software.

You need to have a MAC to install iPhone SDK, even with tools such as MonoTouch (which lets you develop in C# instead of Objective C) you still need MAC for the SDK.

Right now the only way is using MonoTouch but is using C# and is not free software.

No, there is no way to build iPhone apps on anything other than Intel Mac's. Even third party app development kits like appcelerator require the iPhone SDK to be installed in the background
