iPhone SDK is out

After much ado about it, Apple has come out with the beta of the iPhone SDK in a move that is being seen as Apple's bid to make inroads into the Enterprise.
Having been a totally consumer oriented company, the move is corporate appeasement is closely being watched and there are several announcements that are as such not much clear.
What is known as of now is that the SDK will be available to developers to download for free but if they want to market their software through App Store ( which is the only way to legally sell iPhone applications by the way), a one time fee of $99 has to be paid. And ofcourse a percentage of the sales goes to Apple as well.
Apple will be the sole distributing authority for iPhone applications and developers indulging in unfair applications deployment will have their accounts erased.
The question is whether the new model will gain Apple some share in the corporate world, perhaps providing a relief from the BlackBerry offerings.
