Apple Patent filing portends Google ad war
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has filed a patent to enable info and
| apps to be automagically loaded onto your
| iPhone/Pod/Pad based on your location - but
| exactly how it would affect location-based
| ads remains fuzzy.
|
| The patent application, "Location Specific
| Content", was published by the US Patent and
| Trademark office this Thursday, after
| originally being filed in November of 2008.

Ad company Virtual Iris riding the HTML5 wave
,----[ Quote ]
| As the web format battle between HTML5 and
| Adobeâs Flash heats up, the creators of an
| ad-building tool called Virtual Iris say they
| can deliver the rich media experience of
| Flash in HTML.
|
| Much of the interest in HTML5, which is the
| latest update of the basic format of the web,
| has been fueled by Apple, which doesnât
| support Flash on the iPhone and the iPad
| (leading to back-and-forth insults between
| Apple and Flash-maker Adobe). Apple has also
| announced an ad-building service called iAd,
| which will feature HTML5 video. Not wanting
| to be left off by Appleâs devices, startups
| like Scribd have abandoned Flash for HTML5,
| and ad-building startup Sprout, which was
| initially all about Flash, now supports both
| formats.

| Despite yesterdayâs iPhone debacle, Jobs
| was still in a chatty-enough mood to
| respond to a concerned customerâs e-mail
| questioning Appleâs role as âmoral policeâ
| of its App Store. The customer, Matthew
| Browing, was referring to the App Storeâs
| initial rejection of an app containing Mark
| Fioreâs Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoon,
| as well as the companyâs recent porn ban.
