Dun be evil and Dun be lame.

Read on the tech news that Google complained that new user agreement prevents from displaying advertisment on iPhone platform. What always fail to impress me is the lack of knowledge of user experience/satisfaction on the mobile platform, am I the only one to see that Apple is the only company that recognised this fact?

Apple has already made its point on iAd, "there must be a better way of doing this", not only on the iPhone, on Android when you touch on an Ad, what happens?, you are jerked off brought to another place (ussually in the browser) to see something lame and once you realised its crap, what happen again? You have to find your way back to what you were doing in the first place. Pretty sh*tty experience if you asked me. Furthermore, iAd money benefit to developers to continue to make free apps for user! That is a pretty good move if you asked me (I am a developer as well).

So in the end, you have to ask yourself, Google wants to continue this sh*tty experience when you can already do it better on the iPhone. Google advertisement money dun benefit developers and you still want to put it on the iPhone? Come on Google, Apple raised the bar, dun complain others are evil, rise to the challenge, dun be lame.
