iAds Begin to Go Worldwide as iPad Compatibility Comes in iOS 4.2
We've received word that Apple has begun to deploy iAd availability on a worldwide basis, with developers reporting that they are beginning to see ad impressions rolling in from locations around the globe. Previously, developers had seen ad requests from those countries go unfilled as Apple limited the program to North America and the United Kingdom.
The change opens up additional revenue streams for developers and new audiences for advertisers as the company prepares to extend the iAd service to the iPad with the release of iOS 4.2 sometime this month. With Apple having released the golden master version of iOS 4.2 to developers earlier this week, a public release could occur at any time.

Nice!
I've been experimenting with ads for "free" Apps. Good to see iAd gaining some traction. I'm really curious about the revenue developers are seeing for more niche Apps. (not BBC or New York Times, but smaller indie type apps.)

I will not buy one product with advertising in it. I'd rather pay more for the app.

Wonder if iads look different on the iPad
Bigger :D But yah, I wouldn't be surprised if iAds could be "universal" as well so they would appear differently on iPads, and ads that are not might have the same "full screen" feature that apps designed for the iPhone/iPod Touch do.
Also: iThink iLove iAds. i:D

Is fine, I will continue to only have WiFi turned on when I am actually intending to use the internet. Makes for a very iAd-free experience ...
