| Re: Ads on my cellphone - no thanks Based on Google's request that the new spectrum allow devices that can be loaded with any applications the consumer wants to add, and that the same will be true with a Google phone, I would say we can reasonably expect to see and AdMuncher/AdBlock show up. | |

Marquette, MI | I'd much rather fork out $50 per month for an ad-free cell plan than have ads on my cell phone. If they just displayed on the screen it would be fine, but I imagine they will be audiable as well, such as before (or even during!) a call. | |

Miami | Re: Ads on my cellphone - no thanks As much as ads on a cell phone sounds unpleasing, I'd take it anyday from shelling out $50 per month. But then again you may have another income than me. I am a soon-to-be college student working a part-time and income is limited. | |

1 edit | Google is pretty smart about their ad business. I'd be shocked if they tried the audible ads method. Many a focus group would find that VERY displeasing. Ads will be displayed on the screen, and they will be able to target them geographically. So if a store nearby is running a sale, an ad will occupy the top banner of your phone telling you there's a store nearby with a sale going on. If ads are annoying they can have negative effects, which the people paying for them know, and google knows as well. | |
