There always will be ads on anything popular. Mobile platforms, TV, billboards. They even installed ads in a subway tunnel in NY, as train moves, ad moves with you. So remove your tinfoil hat and accept it.

Edit:
SPAM is unsolicited ads/emails
Since we are agreeing to the terms of use by installing the free/paid software, we are in essence agreeing to receive the adds we see. So since we agree to receive ads in order to receive free apps, this means the ads aren't SPAM.

tell me some winmo apps that have ads, cuz i use about 70 different cabs, apps, games, and utilities on mine and never do i have an ad thats attached to the bottom bar of my screen the whole time im in that app..
someguysmms had a nag screen, which was just a 10 second wait between screens or however it was..
i used elecont back in the day on a trial and when it ended it remined you eery 3 uses to upgrade..
SKTools.. trial gives you only a few options.. doesnt give you ads..
WMWifiRouter.. 30 day trial.. no ads during that trial..
SPB MObile Shell.. has a trial.. dont think i saw ads when i tried it..
should i keep going?? winmo is not know for ads so i dont know why anyone would say they are.. trials and limitations on what a free version will do, sure, absolutely understandable and justify-able...
but puting an ad in a free app just for the sake of saying "hey, it was free, so you cant complain", well that just doesnt seem like anyone has my best interest in mind...
and i do agree with elephants *edit* - i know that by downloading it your saying its ok... i get that..
im saying why though.. its not some apps.. its every free app... how many free things you have on your winmo devices guys??? how many of them have ads?? please tell me..
im just saying until i toyed around with android on my TP2, i had no clue.. because its NOT like this on winmo at all... winmo apps limit usually.. android/google adware you.. thats a big difference
