Source : InformationweekAt the time of the announcement of the SDK iPhone, Apple had indicated that only a limited number of developers would be initially signed up.
It is already the case, and many developers wishing to pay the 99$ to test their programs have been rebuffed, however Apple does foresee a widening of this program within a time period that has not been specified.
There are certainly valid reasons for this limitation, such as the capacity of the technical support to answer all the questions of the developers, but the fact remains that these people who have already worked on code feel frustrated.
Apple have acquired big experience with management of crises in its dark period of the past and will now have to develop expertese within the framework of success. Perhaps it will not be so simple.
