While Apple is very restrictive and controlling, they aren't as controlling as many imply about running your own/custom apps on phones.

You can sign up for a free developer account and sign apps onto your iDevices for free. ( 3-apps at least, for 1 week at a time )

If you pay for a developer account you can sign many more apps to run on your devices as you like. This includes apps that would not pass the store approvals.

I agree it is a hassle to have to install apps that way, but at least they do allow it.
