I have windows 7. I know C# and web services (HTML, CSS, JS, ASPX). I want to develop mobile apps with my skills for iOS (the most important option) and android.

If you want to develop iOS or OS X applications, you have to have a Mac to do the final packaging on (either you or an agent of yours). If you use our "8th" development language (8th-dev.com), you can do all your dev work on Windows (or Mac or Linux), but you still will need a Mac to do the final signing etc.
