1- what is the future of Mac regarding the competition between Mac, Windows & Linux

What specifically is your concern here?

2- to be able to write iphone apps, which programming languages should i learn first

Please visit the guides and stickies at the top of this very forum.

3- which programming language i can use on mac

See answer to # 2.

4- is mac mini a good start, how good it is

If you're just starting out, a Mac mini will be just fine.

5- what are the perquisites i should have to learn Cocoa

Again, see the answer to # 2.

Youre asking a windows vs mac (it should be PC VS MAC btw) on a mac website. Youre not going to get much unbiased responses here.

My opinion: There will be no winner now or in the foreseeable future. All three will be around for some time to come. Plus, you are taking a very complex topic and trying to boil it down to a simple answer. That ain't gonna work. That's why I asked what specifically was your concern.
