Several advertising execs told the newspaper some marketers are finding it tricky to get iAds online quickly because of Apple's controls on creative aspects of the adverts, making the development of such adverts hard work and slower than if they were made in-house.

Other problems are said to include a rumoured lack of ‘developer kit' for agencies trying to get their heads around the concept, plus no choice for agencies to choose where the ad appears or allow them to embed their own measuring tags in the adverts to gauge customer feedback.

rofl - classic Apple - if you want "choice" look elsewhere. And these were the folks who were slagging Google et al about their ad-laden platforms.
