Hot on the heels of Apple WWDC 2012 next Monday and the usual hot gossip and rumors about software and product introductions such as iOS6, 3D Maps, OSX Mountain Lion, new iCloud features, 百度 integration, slimmed-down MacBook Pros with Retina Displays & Ivy Bridge processors, and - dare we dream - a re-boot of the Mac Pro line-up, comes the news from AppleInsider via The Wall Street Journal of a software introduction of another sort - Mitt Romney's campaign is kicking-off an iAD campaign.
Holy frigging Apple TV SGR, Batman, my iPhone has a bright red Flame virus.
Join me after the little orange vomit mop for the details.
Mitt Romney becomes first politician to use Apple's iAd service
AppleInsider
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's camp on Friday announced that he will be taking his campaign to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users nationwide using Apple's iAd, making him the first politico to advertise through the service since it was introduced in 2010.

Zac Moffatt, the Romney campaign's digital director, believes that people will "spend more time" with the iAds and said that the campaign will be experimenting with the mobile push leading up to the Republican convention in August. The camp is also using Google's mobile network to get information to Android users, effectively covering the entire smartphone market.
President Obama's campaign declined to divulge what mobile and internet ad resources it was using, but online ads for the incumbent Democrat have been seen on Google's network.

Moffatt sees smartphone users as a captive audience, saying that a handset is "the most personal device you carry. We felt like we wanted to connect with people where they spend their time."
