I'm having a hard time grasping the concept(s) behind app distribution...

Am I correct in assuming SDK apps can only be distributed if approved by Apple?

I'm getting ready to release a system using a custom app which requires a few other hardware components such as a computer be sold with it and I'm assuming for this reason apple won't approve distribution via app store.

I know there are other options such as ad-hoc delivery but if it's limited to 100 users that certainly won't be enough.

Am I missing something here? There has got to be some means of getting this thing distributed properly otherwise I'll have to use jailbreak and I would really prefer not to.
