Can You Really Install an iOS App outside of Apple's App Store?

[Ralph DiMola]

Apple has removed the option to delete a device except at license renewal
time. This limits non iStore distribution to 100 devices per year per
license.

Dumb, old question: Can You Really Install an iOS App outside of Apple's App
Store?

I'm reviewing again the differences between the  Open Source "community" 
version and the Commercial license, which I thought I understood well... 
(See the faq http://livecode.com/support/ask-a-question/)

But this is puzzling: Under

Open source:

             1) Acme Corp wants to distribute their app and source code
directly from their website, for use on any platform

Commercial option:

             2) Acme Corp wants to submit their free or paid iOS or Mac OS
app, to the official Apple iTunes or Mac App Store

Regarding # 1 above:

Can iOS users really download an app from any web site and install it on
their iPhone or iPad without going through the App Store?

I did not think this was possible unless you had the GUID for each device
you want to deploy to and that was limited to 100 devices. But this verbiage
-- "distribute their app and source code directly from their website, for
use on any platform" -- implies I could put an iOS app on our site and
someone could just download --> drag into iTunes --> sync  and voila!... the
app is running on their iPhone/iPad. or navigate in their iPhone to a
download link and click to install the app....

Is that even possible? What am I missing here?
