However, mobile advertising through apps could sson become as annoying as radio advertising and television advertsing currently is and people will soon become offended by this intrusive media advertising.

It's the first iPhone app that aggregates events from multiple event sources Such as Upcoming, Eventbrite, and TicketStumbler. Our app is ad supported. Ad supported apps purely depend on volume and repeat use. So it's hard to categorically say which approach is better. It really depends on what the app does. Also we are seeing more video ads as part of the mix and some interactive ads that walk the user through a game. These ads do have an engaging component and may be best suited for mobile since unlike desktop, users are typically looking at one thing and teXt ads or simple banner ads may be construed as a distraction in comparison to what is the primary focus.

It seems dubious most people downloading free apps are interested in engaging with an advertiser, when their intent is to play a game. Same reason web ads are so ineffective.
