Can anyone see a real appeal of this to anyone other than the marketeers & advertisers that will be sitting behind it ??

Some of the free apps/games on the N97 started advertising between levels and at end of games. Each time it required you to say 'no' otherwise the game would end and a website for the sponsore launched. very annoying.
Not sure how apple will implement it but i had ad's anywhere.

I think it's great. I don't like the iPhone and if this "great" feature can drive more people away from it, then it's fine by me.

I wouldn't mind ads if I can get >$20 apps for free with it... and usually they offer a paid ad-free version anyway.
That's the current pattern that I notice in AppStore anyway. I've never seen any ads in non-free apps.

I dont think that when you are paying for a premium service, that you should have to suffer adverts. Yet another reason not to buy into apple.

@bonerp: You misunderstand the concept. They intend the advertising to be used to fund the free apps.
I'm sure if a non-free app includes advertising in it, the creator will get public backlash.

'iAd that will be used to place adverts in applications'
Advertising & Marketing certainly has a place but there are certain aspects of life that i dont want it in my face, i want out've sell sell sell. Such as when i'm using my personal device/phone and the features on it within reason.
Marketeers & advertisers aside, I'm curious if anyone see's real appeal of this to anyone other than the latter ? If anything would the pinciple not get on most people's nerves. Does anyone know how it will function, pop ups mid application or application boot up ??
