iOS Will 3.0 SDK ever be free like 2.1?

I'm a student and interested in just downloading the 3.0 SDK to use and tinker with. I have 2.1 and 3.0 is still a min. $99 enrollment fee.

Does anyone know if it will ever be free like the other dev. tools?
 
i thought it was ? i think the $99 was for having it being a charged price on the store although i can be wrong
 
It will be when 3.0 is released to the public – which is June 17. Until then, you have to pay the $99.
 
But still, even with 2.1, to deploy and test on an iPhone, you have to be a paid developer.
 
are there any other benefits to paying the $99? I'm starting to learn cocoa/iphone stuff and wondering if its worth getting while i'm stilling pretty new to cocoa programming.

Up to the point where you want to test your code on an actual device I'd say don't pay.
