When I signed up last year for a WebOS developer account, I was shocked at how much I had to go through. This included giving my company info, EIN, and a declaration of if I was developing for open or closed source apps.
All I wanted was to download the SDK and experiment. Palm should have saved all the corporate declarations for when I actually want to publish an app.
That said, this frustration is the opposite of the experience using the Pre, which I find very well done.

I remember trying to sign up for Palm Pilot development, and the form demanded a "DIRECT phone number", I think with the word "DIRECT" actually in caps. They need to understand that developers and customers are supposed to be sizing up Palm at this point in the process and not vice versa.
