Apple blocks location-based advertising within apps 

Mobile Marketer's Dan Butcher agily details the ramification of Apple's stance against location-based advertising within applications for the iPhone and iPod touch.

This decision will definitely impact most players of the mobile advertising industry. Yet I do not think it will presents itself as an issue for companies like Foursquare or Buzzd, whose location-based feature is not only part but beneficial to the user experience.

Indeed, according to Apple's advice to the developer community about its CoreLocation framework:
If your app uses location-based information primarily to enable mobile advertisers to deliver targeted ads based on a user's location, your app will be returned to you by the App Store Review Team for modification before it can be posted to the App Store.
You can learn more about using Core Location by reading the CLLocationManager Class Reference and downloading the LocateMe sample code available in the iPhone OS Reference Library.
