Just got this:
Dear Registered iPhone Developer,

We will contact you again regarding your enrollment status at the appropriate time.
Thank you for applying.
Best regards,
iPhone Developer Program
It’s kind of a stupid move, considering I went to WWDC last year(registered with that same email). You would think they would sign me up first as well as other past WWDC attendees, so that would keep their motivation and go again this year. Maybe Apple just wants a new set of developers.
UPDATE: John Gruber on the confusion created from this letter.
