Sadly, for all practical purposes, iDevices aren't general-purpose computers. Not because they can't be, but because Apple's lock-down is just too heavy. I have an app that I wrote myself and run just on “my own” iDevices that I have to re-install every week because the installation certificate expires. I'd have to pay the annual $99 tax just for the privilege of running my own frigging software on “my” iDevices without hassle.
