It was apparant to me if you could download the software before the approval to be a developer, but we don't use mac's at work so I didn't pay that much attention.
Andriod App info and software was all free for download.

To 'apply' to be a developer all it takes is $100, there are alot of great tools that Apple provides and even more free resources available on the internet. (
http://stackoverflow.com/ is your friend.... for specific issues you will run into). The only real reason there is a $100 fee is avoid everyone signing up and running beta software builds that are not ready for mass consumption.
I highly recommend this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-iO...7050454&sr=8-1
Its a very good textbook that walks you through all the basics that you need to know to know about objective C, XCode, and iOS.
Getting your app approved by Apple isn't that big of a deal aslong as you are not doing anything to crazy with it or using Private API's. It won't take longer then a week or so with a simple app.
