I caught that right away, very disappointing (when you're poor like me, especially) :(

Your poor but you have an iPhone? Come on.

At least he can spell "you're."

Sorry, I have an iPod Touch (Christmas Gift from my parents). No way I could afford an iPhone (for the phone plan) as of now.

You're not a hobby programmer, right? 'Nuff said, so keep your stupid comments to yourself.

Agreed

Technically, couldn't someone pass me their app (in development) and then couldnt I transfer it to my iPhone provdided I have the SDK? Wouldn't even need to be jailbroken...

Theoretically, it could be that the certificate gets linked with the computer hardware or with their copy of xcode. Also Apple could track down those applications, but I don't know if that's as big a deal.

Has anyone gotten access to the remote debug yet? Are they going to manually look at all of the people that managed to get through to the form?

I was looking around on their site after trying to get my phone to sync, dissapointing.

The real question that doesn't seem to be answered here, is that if you pay the $99 fee, can you write an app and take it with you, or is it ONLY as a tethered debug.

I'd love to know the answers to that. But I'm not paying $99 to find out.

Yeah I want to know the same thing... does the $99 fee/certificate allow me to carry my apps around with me and test them or only while attached to the cable and running Xcode?

Interface Builder for iPhone SDK is also missing...

$99? Big deal - it costs more than that to buy a couple of rounds down the pub at the current exchange rate. If you are serious about writing an application then you need to pay that anyway to release the application on iTunes and if you're just mucking around then the simulator will be enough.

It may not seem like a lot to you but that is too much for a hobbyist programmer. I *thought* Apple was being smart by making the SDK free so anybody can use it and only charging at distribution. With that turning out to not be the case, the future of iPhone development is more cloudy. Platforms that are pay-to-develop have a tendency to not catch on.

It may not catch on for all you apparently broke and or unable to generate an income hobbyist developers out there, but it caught on just fine for the 4+ million people who have bought the phone already. Cry me a river poor people.

I'm a hobbyist photographer and I've spent over $10K on gear. I'm sorry, but any true hobbiest programmer who can afford an iPhone and $20/month data fee can afford $99 registration fee.
