So far, that's above my Apple Developer Connection subscription grade  
- i.e., no info visible to me at developer.apple.com.

[wholly-unsupported-by-facts-or-knowledge-plain-old-fashioned- 
speculation]

 From previous experience at a very large 'Premier' development  
partner during the initial Mac OS X release process, I suspect that  
only a selected few companies and developers will have access to full  
details of the iPhone version of Mac OS X, and those will be 1) under  
deep NDA and 2) up to their eyebrows in helping Apple debug/finalize  
the platform.

At a guess, we'll hear some juicy-but-general details about the  
iPhone software/hardware this week, and then nothing else substantive  
until about early May. (This is, after all, Apple, not Microsoft.)
