Ive applied for the IPhone App developer license over a week ago but still havent heard anything back from apple as of yet.
Im quite deep into the development of my application and am wondering if there is a way i can deploy it to a device for testing in the meantime (while waiting for apple to get back to me)?
I cant jailbreak the phone because its not mine.
Also, does anybody know the average time it takes for apple to "contact your legal representative" and approve the application process?
Thanks
Unless you jailbreak, no, you will have to wait for a certificate to deploy a signed app.
I'm not aware of any way to load apps
Maybe one of your friends has a dev certificate?
I believe the apple process takes a bit over a week - at least that was the case for my UK based Ltd company.
Personal (non-company) applications are quicker; I believe these usually complete within 24 hours.

I'm trying to figure out if I can update my iPhone to iOS 5 now rather than wait all the way till fall, is there a way to do this?
Your iPhone must be linked to a Apple Developer account in order to update to iOS 5. Find someone who has an account and ask them or pay $99 for a developer account and an early upgrade.
To answer your question directly, you can't: you need iTunes 10.5, a mac only application for now.
iOS betas are released for developers to test their applications, not end user to test Apple's. Unlike many other betas, a bug reporter exists but isn't the main purpose of this.
Also, developers are clearly asked not to install the betas on their main devices (their personal iPhone for example). Not only could doing so result in a very buggy day to day experience, but Apple sometimes releases versions a few days after the previous version expired, literally blocking the device in the meantime (the Purple Screen of Death).
Sorry to announce you just lost a hundred bucks, unless you buy a mac and start programming (this is a nice opportunity isn't it?).
IOS 5 is still in beta and available only to Apple Developer program subscribers.

How much does it cost to develop an iphone application?
Hope somebody can help. I have been googling trying to get an indication of how long it took apple to develop the AppStore & the iPhone SDK?
My Co. have had an idea to try and do a similar thing internally for our own apps and massively underestimating the amount of work that will be required.
If anybody has any idea how long Apple spent developing the SDK & AppStore, links to any pages even better, I would be very grateful for the info so that I can use that for discussion about the plans.
Cheers
Well apple has hundreds of trained engineers working for them, even still at launch, Steve Jobs said the iPhone took around 6 years to create. Along this time frame they were creating the iPhone SDK which they used to create all the apps built in to the phone. Since then they have been constantly updating the SDK several times a year, expanding a lot. The App Store, my guess is that they used the robust iTunes base they already had for distribution, and then all the rest (legal and technical) things should have taken no time at all.
I'm not sure what your company wants to do but it seems without Apple's resources you'd be better off not.

I am thinking of putting together an app that will be pulling data from a very popular website. I have already looked at search and responses from the site and believe it can be done.
The only one question I have is, will apple have a problem with me doing this? The website more than likely will NOT give me permission to skim, but its public information so.... Will apple reject my app because I am skimming another site for data?
I would setup my own server to do the skimming but I am sure this website will see my ip hitting their servers a billion time a day (hopefully :) and ban my ip, so I plan on having the iphone itself skim the site.
Apple probably won't have an issue with this, but the website probably will. Most websites hate scrapers and put it in their terms of service that you're not allowed to scrape.
Apple only reject apps like this if they scrape Apple websites. Apple aren't bothered if you scrape someone else's site.

When should I give out my iPhone UDID? A company is developing an application for my company for the iphone wants my UDID. Are there any risks to me as an individual giving this out? Many thanks
You should give out your device ID whenever you want an application that is not in the store (or a version not in the store) to run on your iPhone. The developer needs to add that device ID to a list of devices that can run the test version he builds.
(And it's a distracting process for him, so best answer right away before he gets involved in something else.)
The worst thing that can be said about the device ID is that it absolutely identifies your device. No other iPhone will ever have that device ID.
There are not really any privacy risks in giving out a phone ID, and as noted you need to give it out to be able to run test builds on your phone.
I would say though, that if you want to hire someone to develop an app for you you should certainly trust them enough to give them what they ask for, since you are going to be running an application on your phone from them that has not gone through any approval process (though the sandbox helps a lot there as there's not much harm they can do).

I am going to develop on iPhone platform. Can some one make an explanation about how to do this? Here is some of my question?
If I want to publish my iPhone software (totally free, and will be free forever), do I have to register apple developer with $99?
If I don't pay for apple, where else can I get detail development information (such as API documentation, library references, etc)?
What are the steps to develop and publish my software by the official way if I want to spend as little money as I can?
If you want to publish in the app store, you have to pay the $99.
There are tons of tutorials, and several good books available.
See #1. You've got to pay the $99 to publish the official way (through the app store.)
All that said, there is the concept of ad-hoc deployment which lets you share a limited number of apps with other people. The limit is 100 phones, and the users will have to go through a much more complicated process to get the app installed. The real purpose for ad-hoc distribution is getting your app to people who can test it before you send it to the app store.
In my opinion, after you've bought the iPhone and the Mac you have to have to run XCode, $99 is a pretty small price to pay. You're probably paying that much every month to keep the phone.
