Apple's keeping 40% for themselves? I have a feeling this will clutter apps in the future - and Apple's stealing some serious money with that 40% cut - Can you say greedy? Lock down your device and then charge for an implementation that only you can do because you've locked it down?
@Phenom Do you know how ad companies work? That's actually a small cut that Apple is taking. Some affiliate networks split it up 50/50. I've even seen 70/30.
@Phenom Google charges different amounts for different keywords (for their advertising for advertisers, not publishers, look up Adwords) for their publishers(Adsense), they pay per click, but nobody knows how much is being paid to Google vs Being paid to publishers except the advertisers.

@Phenom Perhaps Apple will limit the way they are implemented (duration, size, count, etc.), but perhaps not..
@tklr08 And how much does Google charge?

@tklr08 PS - emailed reply notifications show your name as DJ?

Yeah, I have no idea why. I think my engadget name used to be DJ.
