The BBC are reporting that Apple has been showing off some of the 100 new features to be included in the iPhone operating system later this year:
“The update includes a mobile advertising platform called iAd that will be used to place adverts in applications made by third parties.”
Interesting. Adware was so unpopular that a whole mini industry developed to fight it, and in fact is still thriving today.
So why re-introduce the square wheel?
“Apple founder Steve Jobs also showcased a long-awaited multi-tasking feature, which will allow users run more than one program at a time.”
And this is innovation?
Prediction: the iWorshippers will love it anyway.
