I know that you can download apps manually by clicking on the link on the left side in the Windows Store (on PC), then you typically transfer that to a SD Card and you can have windows store on your phone recognize it on the SD Card on your p hone and you can install it.

Since we don't have an external SD Card does anyone know if this is possible on the 1020?

Thanks!

I thought this was limited to development?

Only possible if your device supports SD cards. Windows Phone 8 has many different versions. Namely:

WP8 WVGA 512MB
WP8 WVGA 512MB + SD (e.g Nokia Lumia 720, Nokia Lumia 620, Nokia Lumia 520)
WP8 WVGA 512MB + LTE,
WP8 WVGA 512MB + SD + LTE

For 1GB+ RAM devices:

WP8 WVGA
WP8 WVGA + SD (e.g Nokia Lumia 810)
WP8 WVGA + LTE
WP8 WVGA + SD + LTE (e.g Nokia Lumia 820 & Nokia Lumia 822)

WP8 720p
WP8 720p + SD (e.g Samsung ATIV S I8750)
WP8 720p + LTE (e.g Windows Phone 8X by HTC)
WP8 720p + SD + LTE (e.g Samsung ATIV S T899M)

WP8 WXGA
WP8 WXGA + SD
WP8 WXGA + LTE (e.g Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Lumia 925, Nokia Lumia 928, Nokia Lumia 1020)
WP8 WXGA + SD + LTE

This is why if your device has LTE, but disabled, you cannot use it because the OS doesn't support LTE.
So by default, the version of Windows Phone 8 is not SD-compatible. So you cannot install apps manually.
