The article says: "The primary reason for the change, say sources familiar
with Apple's plans, is to support sophisticated new multitasking APIs in
iPhone 4.0. 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?
