Are you now saying you no longer claim that in-app advertising on Android apps holds "the promise of [greater] overall revenues"?

Right. I was saying that initial app purchases are NOT the only way that developers for Android make money. They also make it with in-app advertising as well as in-app purchases done at a future date. And a fact which these developers know just as well we all do is that
Android has been growing far far faster than iOS, with no end in sight. So any app they do create today -- whether it has an upfront fee, an in-app purchase at a later date, OR instant revenue from in-app advertising -- would likely have much greater
"potential profit" (
my exact quote) in the future than an iOS app. I did NOT say android
currently has greater mobile ad revenues, and I especially didn't say it had greater ad revenues on the Opera network, lol.
Please, read more carefully.
