Apple holding iPhone OS 4 event, April 8th!

iAd really ****s me off. The iPhone is a premium product, I wont want intrusive ads flashing at me when I'm trying to use my phone. It makes it look messy.

If you bought a car and had to wait 1min for a video advertisement to play every time you wanted to pull out, you'd be annoyed. Or sticking to the electronic world, having to see and ad when you wanted to do a few sums on a calculator.

I want to be able to 'use' my phone without being slowed down by excessive advertisement. I thought this was apple, not microsoft...

It's the developers choice whether they put it in or not, not apples, and mostly only free apps will add this in so i wouldn't worry too much since the free apps have advertising anyway.
 
"Not sure if there are any features that weren’t mentioned here, but will be in iPhone 4, that will be expressly for the NEW iPhone 4 that’s coming this summer."


Makes little sense.

That's hardly the same comparison. It's not like Apple are going to force you to watch an advertisement before you can answer a call or read a text message. If you want to use an application and support the developer, but you don't want to pay for the app, there'll be an ad supported version. If you don't want either, you don't have to use the app.
 
Not only is this making the iPhone for the first time seem really good but also the iPad is now in a new light thanks to multitasking...

Read the keynote. It's not system wide.
 
No, you're misreading it.

End users will get these features this Summer, and will be iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd generation compatible. They will run everything. The iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd generation–will run “many things”, but they will not get multitasking.

The 3GS and latest iPod Touches will get everything, the older models will get 'many things'.

That's how I see it anyway.
 
That was actually a lot more boring than I anticipated. As an original iPhone user, there isn't a lot there for me. I suppose the multitasking will be alright if and when I buy an iPad.

WTF?

I can't move for adverts in windows...


Also, when is phone 4 being announced?

That's my point, Microsoft have adverts in their own applications. An OS you paid for and still full of adverts.

It's just a matter of time. I bet you, they'll be adverts in the messages app at the bottom like there are ads in windows live messenger.

It's a slippery slope. :(
