iPhone Dev here
Thursday, March 6, 2008 
It took a ton of page timeouts and errors, but I managed to sign up as an iPhone Developer. I won't try downloading the SDK for some time as the servers are going bonkers... yes, I said bonkers.
My take on the announcements: awesome! I am glad Apple took their time whipping all of this together. I wish we heard a little more about Notes (its not great but they use it where my wife works and if the iPhone can do Notes well, she's signed on), but this is all really exciting. Objective-C isn't too bad (although the language in my opinion is quite ugly... bracing), and the tools look awesome. Watching some SDK video for now. Build/Simulate looks awesome. Gonna dust off my XCode this evening :) AND my copy of Cocoa Programming (Anguish, Buck, Yacktman). And look up the APIs.
Update
Well, good thing I managed to download the 11 iPhone Developer videos before the world caved in on Apple IT. The iPhone SDK site is down and I can almost never get into the Developer Connection at all. The videos are extremely well done. I am unsure if Dashcode is supposed to be the IB for iPhone applications, or if IB was updated with iPhone components. I **think** that Dashcode is the interface builder, but I am really unsure at the moment. I'd hope that IB was updated, as I like to work in IB/XCode more than worrying about having Dashcode foot the UI... unless its really well integrated somehow. Exciting times. I wonder if the simulator can fake phone calls on it or not. I imagine yes.
