Are you sure Apple allows that?
I see all these streaming apps being pushed out of the AppStore..

About Lua I think you are right: you are not allowed to use an
interpreter to download software to the device. As long as you push
that through the AppStore you might be just fine.

But I thing porting the Audio, implementiong JiveMLON and otherwise
having an iPhone ab would make for a terrific solution.

Wait a moment... sounds familiar? ;-)
