iPad's advertising platform iAd arrives in summer
Since Saturday, Apple has sold 450,000 iPads; 600,000 books have been downloaded to the devices to date, along with about 3.5 million apps. The mobile operating system version, which will be available this summer, will also include Apple’s new mobile advertising platform, iAd.
Apple boss Steve Jobs announced that iAd would allow developers who create applications for Apple's platforms to integrate advertising directly into their applications. Apple would sell and provide the ads. As is customary in the industry, developers would receive 60 percent of the revenue generated via iAd, with the rest going into Apple's own pockets. Over 185,000 apps can now be found in the Apple world. According to Kress.de, the number of downloads is 4 billion.
On Thursday, Apple boss Steve Jobs also presented a new version of the operating system for the iPhone at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, which will allow several programs to be run simultaneously.
