This morning, I completed the final step to activate my iPhone Developer Program membership. The last news I heard about this program indicated that it was (I assume it continues to be) a fairly exclusive program and they are only allowing small numbers of people to join at this time.

I didn’t apply for it until late last week, and I didn’t download the SDK until late in the day it was released, so I’m not sure how I got in so easily. Perhaps they’ve opened the gates to everyone or maybe I just got lucky. I did write a couple of mac apps in the past: MacSaber and WiiSaber. Perhaps they saw those uploads in the Apple Software site and took an interest.

No matter the reason, it’s a bit of a mixed blessing for me. For one, I’ll have to drop my fantastic T-Mobile cellular plan and go legit with my iPhone to run the dev software. I’m currently paying $45/mo for 1500 minutes, unlimited data, and no contract. I’m looking at $79.99/mo for a comparable AT&T plan.

What’s worse, as much as I’d like to, I just don’t have the time to write iPhone apps right now. Heck, I haven’t been able to find enough time to update this blog in months!

Boo hoo, right?

Well, I’ll just have to make the time to write some apps. I have several promising ideas, and I’ll need to sell at least one of them to help justify the increased monthly cost of the new service.
