Reading up on it, Appcelerator gives you native UIs with non-native languages, so it should be much better in that department. I'd still recommend using the real thing, at least to learn.
Macs have changed a lot since 2004. Buy a Mac of that vintage and it's still a PowerPC, no Intel chip. You can run iOS development tools on such a thing, but they will be seriously old.
