Another great note from Mobile marketing watch musing whether or not Google’s recent acquisition of Admob was actually to possess all that iPhone user data.
This is a great bit of industry news for Google and mobile interested parties. Not just another random blog about the what ifs of this merger but backed up by good reasoning and evidence.
