Arora noted that iAd is limited to Apple's iOS devices, namely the iPhone and iPad, while GlamMobile ads will work on iOS, Android, WebOS, and Windows Mobile, among others. GlamMobile will also integrate with Glam's campaigns for desktop PCs. (Google is working to bring similar... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
