Having ads in an app isn't totally fruitless. Look at Angry Birds on Android...what was it? $1 million/month back in November just from ads? The catch is you have to have enough of a user base to make it worthwhile. While there are some here that are making pennies a day on ads, there are others that are making hundreds, if not thousands a day. You need to really evaluate for a particular app if a) does it have enough of a user base to generate many clicks (think about 10-20 clicks per 1000 ad views) and b) do I have a place in my app that I can safely place an ad without angering my users and such that it will be viewed frequently and for longer than 10 seconds.
