The Apple declaration, and the interpretation of it as meaning its OK to do context sensitive LAMB, are by no means a marker in the sand but appear more a guideline as to how to app developers can monetise their apps and, unless I am missing something (and I maybe as my iphone is only 24 hours out of the box), with no opt-in requirement as to what the apps then try and 'spam' (sorry, appeal to) the user with, this avenue is wide open and effectively endorsed by Apple. Can still hope though! James Gary
