You need to find the links to them when you're logged into the iPhone Developer section of the ADC website.

Watching them now, thx a lot.

It's really a deterrent to ensure that people who are going to do malicious things don't bother because they'd lose $99.

Blackberry development is the same way. Just some cost to deter the cheap crackpots.

Development is free on the Blackberry simulators, and for apps that don't do anything security wise. $100 (now only $20 !!) for unlimited compile certificates to do almost everything.
