Is this MacBook Pro good for iPhone programming?

I'm looking to learn iPhone programming and want to use a MacBook Pro with these specs:
13.3-inch glossy widescreen TFT display, 1280x800 resolution
2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
2.0GB (2x1.0GB) PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM, supports up to 6.0GB
160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive @ 5400RPM
DVD-RW/CD-RW SuperDrive-DL
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics with 256MB DDR2 shared memory
AirPort Extreme card (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
Built-in iSight camera
1- Mini-DVI port
2- USB ports
1- FireWire 400 port
1- Ethernet port

Will this work with the current tools that are good for iPhone and iPad development?

It's alright, not ideal though. You might want to consider at least an i5 processor with a better vid card.

I think you should upgrade… My i5 is bearly keeping up with xcode.
