I don't know about "develop perfect pitch" systems but I know that many years ago I developed what was called "relative pitch". In other words, you could play any note on a piano and I couldn't tell you what it was,I could just guess. BUT I was playing so much flute that you could play any note on it and I knew straight away what it was just from the sort of texture of the sound.
I started working on developing this and find now that when I am working on a song a lot, I can just find the first note straight away without having to play it on a piano first when practicing. I think this is more to do with musical memory, though. It has also considerably improved my sight reading.
The only advantages I know of are for sight-reading, being in-tune and general aural training and awareness.
I never knew perfect pitch was something that could be developed but imagine how great it would be for transcribing something you've just heard and liked or getting through those exams where you have to listen to a piece and name all the modulations and what keys it goes through etc!!!!
