The newly acquired Admob from google has already implimented a new ad service. Videos.. Sure they can be flashy and more appealing to click but if you have grown up with computers as I have- you’re probably tired of ads. True we use them here, as we cannot simply work for free. Everyone has to make money to survive. These more obnoxious full scale videos though may be taking it to far. Here is what Admob had to say:

For the first time, mobile video is truly interactive as we’ve included customizable in-player action buttons enabling consumers to engage with Web content and more video content without leaving the video player. Advertisers can also include action buttons that open the app store and iTunes store to drive downloads of branded content. This ad unit helps advertisers and agencies extend their existing campaigns to mobile by using video assets created for other mediums and overlaying interactive elements in the highly measureable mobile environment. Advertisers can opt for action buttons that allow users to share video content with their friends or connect to social networking sites within the video player, making it easy to add a social media element to their campaigns.

So we can click a skip button and bypass the ad but sometimes it can just wear you down day-in day-out skipping ads. If you have not noticed for iPhoneSpies, we have implemented coding that only shows you ads 3 times. After that you never see them again. Granted you dont clear out your history.
