  Ah yes, but that's not entirely accurate. You still get geo-located ads if you haven't given location permission. Apple's ads don't show a notification and since you don't know when your UUID is given out if another app has given your location ads all over can be targeted. You can opt out of iAds location stuff though, head to: http://oo.apple.com/ http://oo.apple.com/ And I will say the new location settings in iOS 4 that let you quickly see what is requesting (and recently used) your location are nice.

    Good ol' http://oo.apple.com http://oo.apple.com. It's a pretty decent opt-out method, but it only works because something hardcoded in the iOS version of Safari sends the UDID as a X-Header in the HTTP request headers -- specifically to the oo.apple.com domain (and a handful of others, all owned by Apple.) If any other company wants to offer a systemwide opt-out for its iOS software, it's a lot more difficult.

      Yep, I think it should not be a web page on their site but an option in the iOS settings.
