Trying to get them to give you the SDK now is like trying to read over their shoulder, or... well, just imagine you're hacking into the iLiad yourself, and your mother walks in and starts "oh, why don't you... let me just type this... hey, what's this?"... Christ! You'd be pushing her out the room saying "this is important! let me finish!". They are trying to actually get it ready for a "real" launch, with everything working, if they opened up for developers now, it would also mean giving them support (reflashing all those bricked iLiads, lol) and spending time on something that they just can't handle at the moment. I'm sure they'll be glad to have you when they're ready for it.
