We are still waiting on word back from Apple about a license for our company to develop for the iPod/iPhone. Everyone seems to be jumping into iPod development. This slows down the application process. I just hope we get contacted sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately there are so many developers out there who would make crappy products and that would reflect poorly on Apple. So as part of the licensing process they check out the company and their site and whatnot. This keeps their quality at a decent level. You can read the details about it here. Lots of man-hours involved there.
Do not worry! Just because we don’t have a company wide license yet, does not mean we cannot test on the hardware! We have individual licenses already and we have been testing our apps on the hardware. I look forward to posting “Yay! Apple issued us our license!”.
