For the last several months a majority of the projects I manage are client-server apps that rely on downloaded stacks, so the server's not just deploying data, but the code and UI too. Tons of fun for all - clients love seeing new features roll out without every having to install anything new.
This type of distribution is technically sound on all platforms, and allowed on all but one: iOS' SDK license explicitly forbids apps that download executable code.
Apple may change their mind in the future, but for now this is something we can enjoy on all other devices on the planet, but we must make our iOS customers wait for a larger, more complicated complete install.
