Re:The amazing iOS 5 API and iPhone 4S hardware nobody talks... by kainosnoema on Tuesday December 13, 2011 @10:21PM (#3350427)
I can't say much since I'm still under NDA, but I can tell you that my co-founder and I got all the way through the MFI approval process, without any kind of "lawyering up". Apple was great through the entire process—very eager to help us get our small project started.

The MFI program isn't the easiest process in the world, but it isn't impossible. Definitely doable as a side project if you're motivated.

That's good to hear. I remember starting to go through the signup process about a year and a half ago and by the third screen they wanted to know the contact information for my legal counsel.

I may have to revisit my project in light of your comment :)
