First Dummy iAds Spotted In The Wild

June 19, 2010

While iAds, Apple's new in-app advertising solution, is only due to officially launch on July 1st; it seems like Apple just can't wait for you to get some iAds and some first test banners are already appearing to those running iOS4.

Indeed, AppAdvice reader Elias just tweeted us screenshots of some first dummy iAd that appeared to him while using the new version of showtimes. Alright, these are just placeholders for now and taping the ad just confirms that the banner works. Yet, it reminds us that we'll soon have to get used to iAds hijacking our screens, apparently for our own benefit.

I'm really digging that subtle mix of interactivity and emotion, what about you?
