Apple Opening Up iPhone Developer Program

Based on reports from developers, it seems Apple has opened the program up and dropped the "beta" designation. Multiple developers have reported that they have been accepted into the $99/year developer program which allows them to install their applications directly onto their iPhone and also submit their apps for inclusion into the iTunes App Store.
The opening up of the program should motivate more developers to start serious development on the iPhone. It should also eliminate the non disclosure agreement which prevented developers from discussing their future applications.
We have added a new iPhone Developer forum to encourage developer participation and discussion. Meanwhile, Mac developers are also welcome to participate in our long standing Mac Developer forum.

I was about to type the same thing. Now things can really get going. I'm looking forward to apps made from major mobile Development companies, Skyscape (medical), Adobe, TeleNav, EA Games, etc...

Let's hope this doesn't slow down the already kind of slow app review process.
It gets especially annoying when you have important updates that your users need and have to wait until Apple reviews them.

It needs the Monopoly game. Or Uno. Or any more board or card games. (I like nostalgic feelings and stuff. lol.)
