Paul, They didn't comment on what sort of ads these would be. I saw an article recently saying they would have audio ads, though. Of course, I don't know the source the author used, if it is accurate etc. Time will tell. Or if you are a developer, I guess you may already know. smile Mary Mary

Hi Richard, Apple has never ignored accessibility. Also, most accessibility changes have not been mentioned at the keynote but have been quietly posted afterward on the site. This is actually more the way Apple has usually done this in the past so no need to get upset before wee know more. :)

Be aware that the iPhone has been known to switch from wi-fi to celular when it has been in the locked screen for a while. Some folks have confirmed this by waiting for 5 or 10 minutes, pressing the sleep button, and quickly touching the space where the wi-fi / cell information is given.
