The system will now be evaluating apps as they run in order to implement smart multitasking. It can't do this if apps are running within a runtime or are cross compiled with a foreign structure that doesn't behave identically to a native C/C++/Obj-C app." I'm not an expert on these things, but does this hold water? How are apps cross-compiled from Flash running "within a runtime"? Why would they have "a foreign structure"? Wouldn't the Flash API calls be converted to iPhone API calls?
