Description
Ad Hoc Helper lets you email a copy of your device's UDID (unique device identifier) to developers so they can add you to their Ad Hoc distribution profiles. This allows them to create a special version of their apps that can be run on your iPhone outside of the normal AppStore channels.
Ad Hoc distribution is perfect for beta testing as well as for small in-house projects with an limited distribution group, of up to 100 iPhones and/or iPod touches. (Please note: Ad Hoc Helper is not a beta product. It helps developers run their own beta programs.)
To run, just tap the icon. A message immediately opens in your Mail application with your UDID information. Address it to the developer in question and send it on its way.

Grate!
This is a grate app a must get when upgrading to os 4.0 beta for free!
Much simpler than going through iTunes
I wanted to get some less-technical friends to beta test my app, and grabbing the UDID from iTunes is not very intuitive. This made it super-simple: the UDID just showed up in my email a couple of hours later.
One caveat: I had a super-not-technical friend give it a try, but he had not configured his iPhone for email. I was trying to figure out over the phone why this app would be prompting him for any credentials, when I realized it was Mail trying to get him to create an account.
BTW, the email generated by this app suggests you buy Ms Sadun's iPhone Developer's Cookbook—and I heartily second that recommendation.
Very useful!
Simple, elegant, does exactly what I need!
