I won't go into a full Tapwave Zodiac postmortem here, but in the Zodiac's case the signing process was free of charge, as were the APIs.
For Microsoft to charge developers to have applications signed for WM5.0, IMHO they're shooting themselves in the foot by making the barriers to entry too high for small developers, and WM5.0 users will probably never see quality open source applications like TCPMP.
