Yeah, 40% to Apple - nice!

Developers don't have to use iAd I suppose but I guess the easier it is the more likely that they will (some free apps already have ads; but I guess it took some effort to develop)

"[Jobs] did the math for the Cupertino crowd: if an average user spends 30 minutes or more per day in apps on their phone, and if the iAd platform serves them an ad every 3 minutes" Every 3 f**king minutes!?!? I wouldn't use an app that bombarded me that often.
