<br>
It looks like Apple has dropped the $99 a year for not even necessarily selling anything on the App Store requirement. It's not exactly side-loading, because end users would still have to build the VM from C sources in Xcode before installing it, but it's something.<br>
<br>
The upshot is, since we can't ship via app-store, we can do a source distribution and get around the stupid App Store rules that hate us so. Thus, we don't have to rely on weird flaky crap like jailbreaks or have a guy paying for a dev account out of the goodness of his heart to distribute test keys for the system to those brave enough to run it without a proper touch interface.<br>

I may buy another iPad yet.<br>

Guessing most people familiar with the sitch are probably up to date, but for anyone who missed this detail, Casey to the rescue.<br>
