I still don't see how an app created from Flash origins, that necessarily passes through the AppStore like all the rest must, would "create a viable alternative to their AppStore."
It takes a bit of understanding of what all Flash can do and what an "interpretation layer" is.
I'm sorry, break down for me. I do something in Flash, use CS5 to turn it into an iPhone app, then what? The AppStore isn't needed? Bypassed? It's that in-between step I'm lacking here.
If it's not something that you understand, I'd have to give you a big education on how Flash works. I don't have time for that, sorry

I agree with deckeda. You are still making apps for the app store. This has nothing to do with bypassing the app store. Bypassing Apple's absolute control of the development process perhaps, not the app store.
Let me put it this way: just because you can't see how it would work, doesn't mean it wouldn't work. It just means you can't see it. I can see it fairly clearly, but that's probably because I know Flash fairly well.
Research interpretation layers a bit more, and I think you may understand how it would work. All a dev would have to do is create one app (through the app store) that acts as a layer for other apps to run on the iPhone.
