iPhone 101: Find UDID with a single click
Apple has given developers a way to beta test iPhone applications with up-to 100 iPhones. Some developers have already started using this to their advantage by giving their software out as free public betas. However, you must supply a developer with your iPhone's UDID (unique device identifier) in order to install these "Ad-hoc" applications on your iPhone. To find your iPhone's UDID, just plug it into your computer and wait until iTunes recognizes it. Select your phone from the Devices list in iTunes and click the "Summary" tab. To see your UDID, click on the word "serial number" beside the picture of the iPhone. You should see the word "identifer" and an alphanumeric string – this is your UDID.
To copy it, just press command + C on your Mac's keyboard (or control + C in Windows). Now comes the hard part: getting on a developer's beta testing list.

No mention of Erica's Ad Hoc Helper app? *golfclap*
Honestly, though, even a cynical jerkface like myself thinks that app is marginally useful, check it: App Store Link

This seems like more than just "a single click."

On a related note you can find out your Ipod Touch or Iphone Build Number by clicking on Software Version.
