It doesn't look like it's actually available yet.

The developer page (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/) where the "Get Started" link takes you is still showing everything for the 3.1 SDK.

Unless you have a PPC Mac, you could just download the Snow Leopard dmg without leaving the house :)

I saw it coming and upgraded ahead of time. :-)

Does the dmg include ipsw files? Or are we looking at developing for the Simulator only for a few weeks/months?

Nope, oddly enough it looks like iPhone OS 3.2 (in its current incarnation) is not for iPhones.

Is there any way to develop for the iphone/ipad without a Mac?

If you want to write a native objective-c cocoa touch app, you need a mac.

However Novell and Adobe have alternative solutions:

You could create a hackintosh, or install mac-osx in a VM. None of these are officially endorsed solutions and I have no idea how stable these hacks are.

Oh oh, I think the NDA is back in effect. Which is still dumb.
