Airpush are quite happy to support developers who want to deceive their users.

So because you wouldn't OPT-IN to receive the ads, you think it's fair not to allow others to opt-in?

We believe that with a solid opt-in in place, users should be able to support the developer by receiving Airpush ads.

Our mistake was we gave full control to the developers to build custom opt-in and opt-out using our Permissions API, whereas going forward we will FORCE a standardized opt-in dialog box.

If I never saw a notification-bar ad, I would not have a problem. The first time though -- the app gets uninstalled and gets a bad review.

with any luck, and it's looking very likely, your "mistake" is going to cost you your business

you've already enraged the community who builds apps, so your forthcoming ban from the marketplace might not even be necessary

i'm personally hoping Google takes a section from the ToS you've undoubtedly breached and sues you into oblivion

So, basically now your business model relies on on users blindly clicking OK to everything when installing/firstrun of an app? Just like they've been conditioned to do from years of desktop software? Not much of an improvement.
