And millions of apple fans will proclaim this as truth.
The #1 top grossing apps in app store is Angry Birds. It comes in with a hefty $0.99 price. 10 out of 12 of those apps are less than $5.00. People want to VNC from ipad because they are remote, not because people dont want to use their computer.
Hah you cut the middleman known as google, yet added the middleman known as apple. iAds is much more of a ripoff than traditional google ads

No I am not quoting Jobs and you are misinformed to such an extent that what you are saying becomes even more ludicrous by the fact that you are saying it with such conviction. Apple had approached adobe for flash but adobe wouldn't provide a workable non battery draining flash for ios, and NEITHER for any other device up until now. So that comment that apple didn't have flash is garbage because no one did. And now that they do it's still laggy, buggy, doesn't interface well with flash and is no where near imitating desktop flash use. Read any review, these are the facts. Now if your android phone runs flash great it's probably from another coding planet. Good luck to your battery life with all the flash content draining it. I use click to flash with safari to disable flash across all webpages on my desktop btw, and I don't miss it one bit.
I don't think there's an argument on your second point, if there is one remind me.
Apple is not a middleman here, it's an enabler of a superior ad platform that is unobtrusive, it runs within apps, it respects privacy unlike google (aka they won't sent your location data to advertisers so they can track your EVERY waking hour - and they explicitly inform you IF and WHEN you would like to provide location data), and offers some very very creative stuff for advertisers whilst also enabling developers to make a living.
They are not the de facto ad pig of the web hogging any and everyone who would like to advertise on the web. This big brotherish and preposterous, and you have been hoodwinked into believing you are getting a free os whilst your privacy is violated and tons of scam ads make tons of easy $$$ for goolgle. and the evil totalitarian data empire that is google (under ship's clothes) grows and grows. Good, wise choice. Have you ever wondered all those scam ads around the world, who actually pushes them, it's google. Do they exercise any quality control on these like apple? No. Because that's the ONLY route by which they make their money.
