What, you're in such a hurry to look at ads on your iPhone? You'll have to cool it for a bit, because the ads themselves aren't available until July 1. What you can do, though, is opt-out of the targeting portion of the ads by going to oo.apple.com, but that isn't live until July 1 either

1 edit | I won't load OS4 on my iPhone.
I would not have bought a portable computer/communicator that was going to charge me for advertisements.
Hey Mr. Jobs?
Are you going to put ads on the Macs to? I'll get rid them also.
Seems AT&T has rubbed off on you. It's a shame.
I love my iPhone, but I'm not In Love with it. |

store wanting a ringtone that sounds like a regular telephone ring.
The clerk asks him if he's a wiseguy....
Seriously, do we really need all these bells and whistles?
Granted, real-time GPS data has its advantages in case of an
emergency, and having done search & rescue in the past, it
can be a time saver. The downside is, real time location data
can be used against you too. If it is known that the distance
between two points takes an hour of travel time at 60 MPH
and that EZ pass card shows less time than that, then according
to the computers, you were speeding. The computers don't lie.
The companies today just don't listen, they want to cram more
and more advertising into every second you're awake.
How simple is it to just want a phone for phone calls?
I don't need a gazillion megapixel camera that shoots HD video,
or a built in web browser or any of the other stuff that comes
with cellphones today. My phone has a camera and web access.
Want to know how many times I've used them? Zero. None.
Zilch. I even got into an argument with a telemarketer once.
They called because they thought I needed something....
48 years on this planet, I'd like to believe I can still make a
completely sound decision on whether I need something or not.
