Apple crushes Quattro as RIM hot-wires own ads vehicle
As Apple shuts down Quattro Wireless in favour of its own advertising platform iAds, it seems that RIM is looking to make a similar move into mobile advertising.

Ad free pocket devices would sell me!
We should all remember that the portable device user pays the freight for receiving these damn distractions, whilst also true for landline InterNet the cost/delay is less significant.
For me advert elimination would be a PLUS!
just because you put an i in front of it
doesn't make it clever.... especially not when your second letter is in Uppercase.
It reminds me of the dilbert episodes when they realise that all the brandnames are trademarked, except the disease ones.

Ashes to ashes
"Fire the Quattro."
"Don't you mean fire *up* the Quattro, guv?"

I hate advertising so much.....
I’ll have to install ad blockers on my mobile too.
So Apple et all, are shoving more crap in my face and I'm paying for the bandwidth, and possibly for the ad blocker. We should sue them for wasting resources on a device I purchase.

Owning an iphony doesn't make you smarter, just more gullible. :)
iAds??
Start a web ad company with 8 mates.
Call it Group of Nine (GoN) for short.
Job Done.
Is it just me?
or is Apple starting to look like a Microsoft clone?
But....
Apple took over the 'evil' mantra from Microsoft ages ago.
Are the marketin geniuses from you know who........
..........really calling this "iAds"? I must say that Steve Jobs really has an infectious sense of humour!
