You've gotta be kidding me.
I'd totally build one of these things if Apple would ever actually respond to me. It's been almost a month - anyone else experience this kind of delay?

The first was submitted and approved in the first month (December). But without the contract, both (paid) apps couldn't be sold. Hell, I can't even provide free apps even if I wanted to. The contract paperwork was only completed earlier this week, meaning the apps can now be sold. I blogged about it here - http://motionobj.com/blog/stopping-development-of-iphone-app... - actually stating that I will state any further development of my apps until it was done. Being without without income due to seemingly simple paperwork delays and with 2 more apps ready to be submitted anytime was very frustrating.
Since the App store is very skewed towards apps which are mire recent (by submission/approved date, whichever), it means that the 2 apps which were previously submitted now hang at the back of the app listings which, again due to the way it works, makes it stay there pretty much.
While there are quite a number of glamorous stories about developers striking rich in the greenfield opportunity of iPhone apps development, there are still a few fundamental pitfalls that can break things if you are not careful. Looking back, I'm not sure what I could have done to speed this up actually, since emails sent seems to go to /dev/null. Not all the emails, but those I really needed responding to never received any.
