What's to stop a developer from doing both? Charge for an App AND throw ads in the mix. Genuine question.
And why are ads the means to an end? Why not just charge for the app instead of making it free and poluting it with ads, thus ruining the experience of a beautiful ad-free environment?
I have no problem paying for apps and will gladly keep doing so if it keeps my iPhone ad free. But I dread that in the long term this will lead to where many other media forms have gone. First it's only the free apps, then the $0.99 ones. Before you know it you cannot pay your way out of them.
I also suspect that it could be used as an excuse to raise the overall price of ad-free apps in general.
I have never wanted to go near jail breaking. But if ads end up getting in my way I'll consider it fair game. I loathe ads in most of their forms.

1. Complaints, I guess. The more negative reviews, the more likely they may undo the ads.
2. People are cheap. Not many people are willing to pay money for apps and go straight to the free/lite versions.
3 and 4. I don't see them being any more intrusive than they are now. Buy the app, and advertising may not be a factor.
As a prospective developer I really think you're asking for a lot.
iads help make my app viable. I don't see people paying for it, but I'll never make money if it's free. iads are the perfect solution. If you could turn them off then I wouldn't make any money.

You mean, put you off to using free apps.
You really think that ads will only appear in free apps..?

Well, at a higher rate than in paid apps, yes.
