Yeah, this is just one of the worst pieces of writing in the history of P.R. -- if it had been phrased properly nobody would have even noticed. If Steve Jobs had composed the memo people would be grateful to have gotten it.

Given that the public version of the app store doesn't even exist yet, why should we be surprised that Apple is not yet willing to take your $99 for the right to sell something there? Hell, if Apple was taking the $99 now, in exchange for nothing but promises, people would be complaining about that.

i applied to the developer program because that's how you get the key necessary to install apps on an actual iphone. until you get that key, you can only write apps for the built-in aspen simulator.

i'll gladly pay 100 bucks to install my apps on my actual iphone, if and when apple will let me.
