Official "Regisitered" iPhone application developer

[mallen]

I finally got an email from Apple last night offering me the activation code to get a digital certificate to develop iPhone applications.

I have a ton of different ideas for apps I'd like to write but the two I wanted to share today are:

• Dice roller
  "I have dice."
  In the undying words of everyone's favorite D&D'er - and I'm sure much to the shuddering horror of forkmonkey, I'm planning to learn how to write iPhone apps by writing an application that'll roll dice and calculate the result of the dice rolls.
  It's a simple idea, but it could be made more complex and interesting by letting users assign "contexts" to the dice rolls. For example, you could create an add-on that allows a user to define various dice rolls for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons (which I just started reading).
• Baseball scoring
  I've long wanted a computerized and convenient way to score baseball games I'm watching at home or in person. The Big Idea is that every half inning your scoring summary would be posted on the web (if you wanted) in RSS and Retrosheet format. The phone app would keep up-to-date stats on offense, pitching and defensive play and could download current-stats, players and recent batting lineups from the Interwebs.

I'm pretty excited about it.
