Something tells me this is Apple's new big way to make money and thou shalt comply or else.
You know you don't HAVE to download the Apps that contain advertising right?
Ad driven entertainment isn't a new concept. I don't think you get what this is all about. If you don't want to pay for an application you can, instead, if you so choose, sit through a small amount of advertising, thus selling yourself as a potential customer to companies that are willing to pay for the privilege of your time. It isn't like the Iphone OS itself has advertising. Your phone calls won't be interrupted by 30 second spiels by the late Billy Mays or the latest in feminine hygiene
.
Okay, so I only read about 12 pages, but I can't be the only one thinking they didn't show us everything, am I?
This was a "Sneak Peek" after all, not a release and Joe iphone user wasn't meant to be the audience, the developers were. Obviously Apple knew those of us Kool-Aide drinkers would be aware of what came out here, but still.
So to all of you saying "I can't believe it doesn't have ________ or _______" Take a deep breath and wait just a little longer...

There's an app for that. (no seriously, who are you?
)Better prepare yourself for an extended illness throughout the foreseeable future then.
As if anyone else gives two flying ffffrogs what you will or will not be purchasing.
Did you overlook the word "interactive" somehow?
Are you also unaware of Flash's limitations, vis-à-vis a touch-based user interface?

Anyway, my iPad (from which i post this note) is happy about today's developments.
Facepalm. Okay, let's narrow it down.
iAds is the sleeker, more "enjoyable" form of Google Ads. Agree?
If iAds replaces all Google Ads within free iPhone Apps, that's great. Agree?
If all free iPhone Apps now have adds via iAds, that's manageable. Agree?
If payed apps now have ads (as some already do), that sucks big. Agree?
What makes you assume these ads will have access to your email? Location sure, but unfortunately, that's a trend Google started. And uh, do you suspect people will come to sequester you? Or do you have something to hide? Like, you do drugs, or have raped someone? I agree, it sucks that these corporations are stealing our private information, but apparently, it's inevitable.
You're truly out of your mind. These ads are an option for developers to use if they wish. Or they can choose to use another ad network. Or they can choose to not use ads at all.
Not sure I understand this one in regard to the calendar.
My wife has both exchange calendar and we sync mobile me cal both over the air. They are both independent and they do not sync to each other at all. But both can be viewed together by showing all calendars.
Tons of Windows Mobile Apps with Ads. The iAd program does not shove anything anywhere, it allows another way for developers to use ads in their apps and integrates them into the apps better.
Since Microsoft already operates a very large online advertising service you should expect a very similar offering for WM developers.
You apparently do not own a phone with 3rd party applications on it. Go buy one and return as an informed commenter.
Using your phone requires you to view a single ad. The agreement to view or not view ads is on an app by app basis, just like your computer is today. The ads already exist, Apple is just providing a different implementation for developers.
You can't make money when people are happy with their computers for 7-10 years.
Wait, wait. So now you agree people shouldn't upgrade til they want, but those guys want everyone to have the next greatest thing?
Is it April 1, again?
Don't own a TV, eh?
Developers that go nuts with ads that hound the users won't sell many apps. It's that simple.
First off, I can't belive I am validating you with a responce. But some times there are atrocity against common sense that cannot be tolerated.
The agreement with your iphone was that it would make phone calls along with a handful of other features. Apps didn't show up for over a year later.
You are not handing over anything without permission. Read and understand the user agreements. If you don't agree, don't download the app. If you agree then you are giving permission. Apple has even included the option to turn off location features.
I don't know what to make of any of this.
I guess I'll need to dump my iPhone 3G if I want multitasking. I just came off of my contract and I was planning on buying whatever the next version of the iPhone is when it's released, having skipped over the 3Gs. I guess my old phone will be relegated to being a pseudo iPod Touch.
No summer release of 4.0 for the iPad is a letdown.
iAd... I guess, ideally speaking, it means we'll see version A of an app that's free and includes ads, and version B of an app that you purchase and is ad free... I could go for that, potentially.
The ad thing is definitely what the Flash war is all about, so it wasn't a big surprise.

So that's pretty cool, what if Apple actually makes adverts acceptable and not an annoyance? We should give it a chance and see, I'm sure they don't want to annoy us with ads! If ads are actually relevant and not about online casinos and how to "get ripped in 6 days" then I'm sure people would actually not hate them!
Wow, people are crazy!
I personally don't oppose the iAds. If it makes some coin for the free dev's, great! I've got so many top free apps and hell if I could make them. It's not like you HAVE to click on the ad at the bottom of the screen, it's just there, ignore it.
Also, the screen lock thing - damn straight this should come on the next iPhone release but no way could they talk about it in this conference. It would give so much away about the release! I don't think knowing you can do that will make the world of difference to dev's anyway? But correct me if I'm wrong on that.
I own the 3G and it works fine for me, I love it. If I fancy the new iPhone I will get it, but otherwise, just wait it out until prices come down or for the next one.
Apple may be behind on plenty, but at least it is moving forward and not stuck in reverse.
Get some perspective.

The world through they eyes of hysterical MR users.
Hmm, you guys are missing MY point, in which I was talking to individuals here at the forum. If I wanted to talk to Apple, I'd "post" it elsewhere.
Apple's head is finally screwing itself on (that sounds dirty for some reason)
Looks exciting.
EDIT: Sucks having a 3G though, Apple better release a bangin' new iPhone this summer along with the OS, because there's no way I'll waste money on a 3GS.

First off, I'm not moaning. Sure it's fine that the changes are coming. I would atherosclerosis not have iads (I love that the name autocorrects to aids, the new pad with aids). I don't see anything via google ads. I use adblocking on the desktop. Again my issue is with how much bandwidth or space these ads will take. Depending on implementation. I think that's a valid concern.
The thing is, there are features previewed as a peek into the future and frankly my issue is to do with what an affair was made of such basic stuff. Just release a press release and move on. Nothing shown was worth a press event.
I've never chanted the mantra of multitasking , multitasking! I'd rather see a better tab implementation on the iPad, added gestures for forward back, and an noninvasive notification system that doesn't interrupt a workflow.
