Google Introduces AdSense for Mobile

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Google made their fortune from ad-sponsored Web content, and now they're attempting to move the same concept onto mobile devices. AdSense for Mobile Applications lets developers create iPhone and Android apps with contextual advertising.

Will this model work for phones? Contextual advertising could potentially be very useful for consumers. For instance, you're walking around trying to find a place to eat, and your dining app not only finds a place nearby but sends you a coupon. However, that sort of personalization might also be seen as intrusive.

Would you prefer free apps with ads or paying for apps with no ads?
