99% of the market for smart phones, before the iPhone were corporate customers. We do care about what our users can install on OUR phones, we also don't want to

  Corporate customers can side load apps on iOs now. Company handsets no longer make up 99% of smartphone, if at all they ever did.

    Apple's corporate side-load program requires you to prove that you have 250 employees. Running a local service company with 120 employees? Sorry, you're too small to qualify for side-loading. Build your custom competitive advantage apps and load them into the iTunes store for everyone or go without.

      I couldn't believe this when I read your post, but it turns out there is a minimum employee count requirement, and it's now 500 employees. Just wow. Now, to be fair, the non-enterprise developer program lets you distribute your app to 100 devices too, but you need to pre-enter those devices's IDs beforehand. There's no way to hit between 100-500 devices.

        If you want to install on more than 100 devices, it might be cheap to just buy a second SDK license. But yeah, beyond that its probably less painful to just submit your app to the app store.
