What iAd Won't Do For Marketers

For online marketers, there is a lot to like about Apple's mobile ad platform, the iAd: an ad that stays inside the app doesn’t force the consumer to choose between the app or leaving the app to satisfy a passing curiosity about an ad (and guess who usually wins in that scenario).
