Hah, that's the funny thing, it's definitely not beneficial to the consumer. People are paying for a device that in return feeds them ads through a special "feature," which in turn, creates even more money for apple. And I can't believe phone arena actually posted, "Imagine, ads that are fun to watch!" That's is completely mind-blowingly retarded. Who in the holy F*** thinks spoon-fed ads are fun to watch.

I understand that view, BUT we get a lot of things free(email, games, apps, etc) so I do understand why companies want to make a dollar.

Clearly, you aren't educated at all about communications and advertising. These new ads will become much more appealing to people who use the iPhone, which is a huge amount of people. None of the original ads were appealing whatsoever. They were just annoying, just as you would see on any Android app that needs support from people/companies looking to advertise. The only reason people clicked on Ads in an application was because they accidentally did it lol. It is more likely people will click on these ads if it doesn't completely interrupt what they were doing. This brings more money into Apple, yes, but also more money & attention to the company who needs advertising. You are so against Apple, it actually makes you look "completely mind-blowingly retarded." Google is planning to do the same thing as Apple is by setting better standards of advertising on applications. They might also charge as well. Now, go stand in front of the TV as you were doing and waste your time doing nothing once again.

Hey dumbass! He never said anything about Apple. He said that the concept of the ads is "completely mind-blowingly retarded." He said nothing that criticizes Apple. As stated above, he criticized the concept of "spoon-fed ads." Which still wouldn't make me want to click on the ad.

I love this....Apple goofed on something sooooo simple, this appears to be a design flaw not based upon computer programming or faulty components.... but simply improper design of the antenna as well as improper testing... Then again, how could Apple properly test their products when they can't even keep track of their prototypes. Those all end up in a puddle of spilled beer and redbull-vodkas. It would be an absolute disgrace if the employee who designed the antenna was fired for this and Jobs is still gets to water and fertilize his orchard of I-bitches. Somewhere on the product testing checklist there is a missing box for "does this phone drop more calls then would be expected?" Someone get me a wool shirt.

@luv_droids It just appealed to people much earlier than Google did, obviously since the iPhone came out at least a year before. But even then, the G1 was kind of a flop. It isn't that it didn't sell, but T-Mobile was a bit worse back then and the phone was just plain ugly with limited features. But besides that, it seems from one point of view that the difference between the two is made by the preference of the users now. People can pick between the two. But from another point of view, which is taking a step back to really see how its doing, it seems more like people on AT&T will use the iPhone, but people not on AT&T will use Android. It would be a different situation if the iPhone was available on more carriers, but at this time, it isn't. Some people, such as this guy networkdood, use Android on AT&T, but the selection of Android doesn't compare to the selection on any other carrier. I would assume networkdood likes to use both platforms, Android and iOS, and likes to switch between phones, since AT&T has a big selection and uses Sim cards... Or he's an idiot for upgrading to an HTC Aria when he could be using much better HTC phones.

well thank you for clearing that up for me! @DonkeyPunched, I know people are downraking me because they think im a droid fanboy (*clears throat* girl...) but im open either way i dont have an iphone, but i wouldnt own one because I FEEL there are too many restrictions on what can and cant be done, and once i BUY something i want to use it how I WANT not how who made it wants, and I like android software becasue of its openess, and there are a few other features not offered on iphone, but I am debating on what to get when i let go of my BLACKBERRY because i love it! even though it took awhile to get used to it I still love it and want to make an informed decision.
