Apple to Force Advertsing with iAds

[Nash Bridges]

iPhone OS 4.0 will have built in advertising. Just what we needed right?

They are going to embed the advertising right into the apps. According to Jobs this will change the landscape of advertising and give the user a better experience.

I say it will make it harder for the user to get away from it. If someone pays for an app do they really want advertising built into it? I can see it for free apps but for purchased ones??

Apple will make sure that we never get away from clicks!

Everything Looks Great Over Here

Right, because no apps at all have ads now, and it definitely won't be up to the developer to decide whether to include ads.

The idea is that if you pay for an app you'd be buying an ad-free version. "Free" apps will be supported by advertising.

This has been discussed many times in the forums here. The ads are optional for the developer to use in their application. It is the developers choice to utilize ads in their application just as it is now.
