It is rumored that you might be seeing commercials when you boot up your favorite App Store apps! Imagine paying for Beejive only to have an unauthorized ad crammed down your throat everytime you open it to chat.
AdMob, one of the larger mobile advertising companies, is said to be launching these “in app” advertisements very soon. It’s believed that you will be able to fast forward, or even skip the advertisements, but it still seems like more of a pain than it’s worth. How would you feel if everytime you opened an app you had to skip a few ads? The biggest problem with this idea is now that Google is buying AdMob they could really cause an annoyance to iPhone customers. They could create many annoying ads utilizing the new AdMob system which could cause iPhone users to consider “ad-less” apps on the Android OS.
Or you could just jailbreak and im sure there will be a mod that blocks all these ads.
I love my iPhone, but I promise you, if I sart opening apps, especially paid apps, and I have to click through an ad, I will be selling the product VERY quickly and going back to WINMO! And I will be contacting every advertiser that I run into in the process, and letting them know I will NOT be buying thier products/services because of their outrageous intrusion into my life.
They day my paid apps have ads is the day I jailbreak my phone.
Google just purchased Admob for 750 mil.
If they start playing commercials before launching the app then all apps should be free
