macOS Will you be using the iPhone SDK ?

From iPhone Developer Program Details:
Downloading the SDK is not the same as being part of the iPhone Developer Program.
I just wasted another 2gig of bandwidth... I am still getting the same error!!! GRrrr!
After installing the SDK, does anyone find that their GUI run a bit laggy? I had XCode 3 installed previously and did not see this lag.
That has nothing to do with "powerful". The developers that they were invited signed an NDA. Now there are two conflicting thoughts in those developers: Thought one is "I want to be the dude who told the world and macrumors about the iPhone SDK". Thought two is "Telling the world about the iPhone SDK is abusing Apple's trust, it is deeply unprofessional, it is lame, it will cost me my well-paying job and get me a resumé where my employer states that I was fired on the spot for violating an NDA, which will not help with my future career at all, it will exclude my company forever from a possible source of making major amounts of money, my colleagues will all hate me".
Once people have grown up, Thought #2 is much much stronger.
Hmmm. I can understand them wanting to outlaw emulators (as they're often of unclear legality) and interpreters that effectively side step the AppStore (bringing security risks and reducing Apple revenue), but this surely bars a whole bunch of games? I think it's relatively rare nowadays that developers, especially commercial ones, hardcode that much...
I intend to look at it, but since I'm primarily a Java person, and don't fully understand how to develop in Cocoa (though I'd love to learn) I might have to wait until I understand how to do that first.
Nope, I seriously doubt it at all. As a student paying another $99 a year, plus having to buy an Intel mac is just too much for me. My Powerbook is still under AppleCare, ridiculous for me to spend that kind of money on a new machine in under 3 years. Getting screwed with the last gen PowerPC chips again!
