I found this to be a nice meta view of Xcode future and why Apple is drawing the line now. Esoterica is in the post's links. I don't really think this is so much about clipping Adobe's wings, but that is certainly a side effect. 

Those prone to seeing disaster for revMobile should be of good cheer. There are a couple of foolproof ways to deliver rev coded iPhone and iPad apps that avoid that line that Apple is drawing.

The webkit may be our savior. One company has already gotten the ok for apps that are made by serving up screens inside a Xcode built client app. The screens are created with JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS. They, of course use the iPhone OS APIs in all their glory. These are much more like app screens than web pages. 

Best,
