Today Google fired the latest volley in its war of words with Apple over mobile advertising. In a blog posting, the head of Google's mobile ad service, Admob, had harsh words for Apple's new restrictions concerning the iPhone and iPad ... calling them a threat to competition. There's a lot of money at stake ... the US mobile ad market, which is about $600 million, is expected to more than double by 2013."

As someone who has used Apple devices for a lot longer than they've currently been popular, I can tell you Apple has *always* been the worst in the industry for things like this.
The difference is, ten years ago Apple didn't matter.
