You are a super salesperson, by the way.

Steve, Sorry to say this, but, given how advertisers are desperate on iAd (thanks to Apple brand), don’t understand why you are not taking on Google with a cross-platform ad approach. You spent close to $300M on Quattro (which btw, I believe is a bad choice), the right thing for Apple to do is to extend iAd dominance to Android and BlackBerry before Google starts dominating it. Advertising is unfortunately an open ecosystem, unlike Apple products you have been selling. BTW, HTML5 dos not solve the smart phone device resolution problem, and I just don’t get why you are sticking to Apple platforms for iAd.
Video ads are the way to go in mobile, beyond pre-roll. And GoldSpot can give Apple the ability to sell high quality video ads on ALL smart phones, at a very high value. Lets get the market and Google. Common, Steve - You are a hardcore entrepreneur and I cannot believe you are letting Google dominate this play.
As far as mobile ads go - You are just being a jerk !
