I've not submitted any apps to any BB devices, but I'm ready to submit for the Playbook. Can someone point me to a list of steps required to submit an app? For example, signing the app, vendor #'s, paypal accounts, etc.
Create a vendor account following these easy steps:
Agree to the Vendor Agreement for BlackBerry App World
Enter your personal contact information
Enter your company contact information
Associate your PayPal account with your Vendor account. You must have a PayPal account in order to participate in the Vendor Portal for BlackBerry App World. A PayPal account is required for both consumer purchases and payments back to Vendors.
So you need a paypal account. You may be requested to sign an additional document if you are going to be applying as an individual (sole proprieter).
Once you are accepted into the portal, you can submit an app. All you really need if your packaged application (a BAR file) and an image (480x480 png), but here is a more official list.
To submit your app or theme to BlackBerry App World, you’ll first need to create a vendor account. Once your account credentials have been confirmed, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to begin submitting your apps or themes. When submitting your app, be sure to include the following:
Application name, description and icon or logo
Category in which your app should be placed
License type (free, paid or try and buy)
Wireless service providers your app will be available to
Countries where your app should be distributed
Releases and file bundles

I set things up as indicated, but I see that I can't submit anything until I've been "approved". How do I ensure I make the deadline for submission? How long does it take to approve?
i've been hearing from others that approval hasn't taken very long. somewhere between 2 days and week though. If those are accurate, you should be in good shape.

I was approved the next day after faxing in my notarized document. And even if it takes longer for you to be approved you should still be in good shape for the deadline.
