“Jobs has already been stabbed in the back by partners Gates and Sculley, he won’t make the same mistake twice. “

Isn’t that twice already?

Actually, Google does allow other networks to run ads on its search pages. A simple search for "bing" tells the story: http://grab.by/4Wqv

Apple just shook the mobile ad market by changing the terms of its iOS developers agreement.

Only independent mobile ad companies will be allowed to collect data on users and then target ads using that data in iPhone/iPad applications. This effectively prohibits mobile ad networks that are subsidiaries of larger mobile companies from advertising in iPhone applications.

AdMob says the change in developers agreement means it can't advertise in iPhone apps anymore. An Apple rep tells us AdMob can still advertise in apps. We asked the rep if AdMob could collect data on users. He couldn't (and hasn't) answered that question.

On the surface, this looks really bad for Apple. It's basically booting a big ad network that supports thousands of developers by generating ad revenue. It also looks positively terrified of Google and is trying to stop Google from gathering information on.

John,

We like you but sometimes you are wrong on the facts. AdWords is a very close parallel. For those sites that choose to use Google Search they will also carry AdWords. Not Yahoo Search. Not Bing. AdWords. Period.

Ask AOL how much luck they had trying to get "other" search ad companies onto THEIR results pages. They wanted to do it. It never happened.

John, you sometimes are short on the facts which has always been my issue with you.

Google decided to enter the mobile hardware devices space which is the heart of Apple primary biz. So what’s wrong and a bunch of whiners to those Android fanboys when Apple decided to enter and own the mobile ads space now? If the Google is smart what they claimed to be, prove it in the marketplace that you are better than Apple and Jobs. Jobs dare and challenge you, pick up the sword and be a man!, don’t just whine in the closet and complaining all day long.

These are valid points. However, which ad serving platform is used matter very little to the user. As a heavy user of Apple computers/devices and PC's I don't care that much about who serves the ads.

What I want and love about Apple is that there products and interfaces are useful, elegant, more importantly, they work. Apple's issue in the past was that they didn't have enough scale for serving ads. They do now. With iPods, iPhones, and iPads they have enogh users to make are relevant ad network. That's all the users care about.

YES -- Google DOES allow other networks to run ads in its search results.

We call them "Organic Search Listings" in the SEO industry.
