Of course it is only in apps that the user decides they want to run.

On second thought I usually pay the extra $1 or $2 if I decide to keep an app to avoid the ads.

Full-screen or partial ads in valuable apps are always reason to spend the couple bucks for the ad-free app.

I still like the business model of free and paid apps. I can download and try out an app to see if I like it and then decide to buy it in the long run if I decide it works well.

I agree, but wish there was the ability to try out a paid app for a couple hours. Like Android does, or did anyways, a few years ago.

I see this following the cable model. First, pay to get no ads. Later, pay AND still get ads.

YUCK!

How is that different than Android; free apps have ads, paid apps don't.
