iPad App Programming - SDK version necessary

(( Please look for more questions under iPad App Programming .... ))

I downloaded XCODE, purchased an iPad, upgraded to Lion (OS x 10.7) bought XCODE tutorial app.  Also finding good tutorials.

Getting ready to order Head-First App Programming and Beginning iOS 5 development; Exploring the iOS SDK - hope those are the best.  Looks like I should buy a book on objective-C too.

Just in the sample pages on Amazon, I discover I need SDK which comes in
FREE
STANDARD
ENTERPRISE

## Question ###
I've been asked to program an iPad application which has a Patent Pending.  Doesn't that mean I need to purchase the $299/year enterprise version?

$300/year isn't out of my budget - but I have yet to make a penny programming apps.  

Still - I firmly believe MOBILE is the way of the future; and I'd be a fool to sit pretty, only knowing HTML, PHP, MySQL, AJax and jQuery.  (And of course Photoshop, Illustrator, some Flash, etc.)

With Facebook, Blogs - the pool of people able to publish to the web has grown enormously.  I started web development company in 1992.

My background and expertise is Marketing; but if programming lets me differentiae my services and allows me to create products to hit customer niches - I'm all for it.

What do you Experts think?  

Good choice of books?
 and $299 Enterprise version?

Thanks, April
