One fantastic use for this key, if it is real, is the ability to connect your iPhone directly to the IDE as shown in the presentation. Currently you need an SDK key for this to happen. It is rather hard to do all the nice tilt action on programming the iPhone due to having to use the simulator.
Another BIG problem, again based on the above problem, is testing your code using the OpenGL|ES engine. This only resides on your iPhone and not on the Mac, so again this can't be tested.
iPhone development, according to Apples website, will be limited to the US at first and rolling out to other countries over the next few months. Why? Again a fully working key would help everyone looking to create apps.
I for one would love to be able to get a software key just to be able to test our code on an official iPhone rather than having to depend on the half baked simulator.
