Google Protesting iPhone iOS 4 Developer’s Agreement That Locks-out AdMob Advertisers
Apple did not only change the name for the iPhone OS 4.0 to iPhone iOS 4 that shocked the world but Google is also shocked to learn that the iPhone-maker actually changed the Developer’s Agreement license to specifically lock-out advertisers who are affiliated with other mobile phone or phone OS makers. This devious tactic was recently discovered by Omar Hamoui, founder and CEO of AdMob. As you know, Google recently got approved by the FTC to complete its acquisition of AdMob which is currently the leading mobile advertising firm. Hamoui said the new condition will force third-party iPhone iOS 4 developers to exclude AdMob ads from theirs apps or games. This could be a disaster for AdMob and Google, effective targeted ads requires access to certain personal data of users which are mostly gathered via the use of smart phone apps.
