I've seen FULL and LITE versions of apps that use the same name on the springboard, so there must be something in the binary to distinguish between them and allow them to coexist on the same iPhone.
Thanks!

Different icons can show the Lite and Full versions of apps. I think, since I've had a jailbroken iPhone, I've gone into the system directories and found where all App Store apps are stored. The iPhone makes certain folders made of letters and numbers like so:
12DE858CFK-58FJGDDLG9-458TGGKDFEO-RRE1
Inside contains the .app, the documents folder, the tmp folder, and another file. By looking at how they're stored, it looks like it wouldn't matter.
A difference in the binary is nothing. The binary is just a zip of your app.
It's not like dragging an app with the same name as another in your Mac's Applications folder when it overwrites. I would add in "Bundle Display Name" in your Info.plist: YourAppName Lite
Hope this helped a little.
