Rev on iPhone/iPod Touch ??

There have been stories on the web of the difficulty of publishing an  
application on Apple's App Store for the iPhone. Getting paid is  
another story.

Here I think revolution can have an original position: if a stack  
runner/player is made available on the iPhone (for free or for a  
small price) then revolution developers (who, remember, have paid  
their fee to develop with rev) could make their stack available on  
the internet (free or paid for), then have it downloaded by wifi (for  
instance) to the iPhone/iPod Touch ("à la" air shairing) and use it  
on the phone. The download could be implemented inside the Stack  
Player app.
The developers would short circuit Apple's certification process: you  
download a file, and not an executable.

What do you think of this business model?
And is the stack player implementable considering Apple's possible  
restrictions?

Best regards,
