Let's go beyond panicking that Apple is the new MS+Google...
Note that in the iPhone 4.0 talk Jobs announces (see last 15 minutes of http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1004fk8d5gt/event/ ) that "developers get 60% of the revenue" from iAds appearing with apps. That could amount to a huge chunk of change.
That pushes me to rethink my wait-and-see plan regarding iPhone app development.

If apple is going to act more and more like the 900-lb gorilla that needn't listen to its core constituency, then the Ad dollar-stream they may control may further squeeze the freedom and options of software innovation.
