No worries. There's no clear cut reason for that limitation, it's just there.

You're only allowed to use .caf, .aif, or .wav files.

We just released an iPhone app that's 2.2mb. We're trying to cut down the audio .caf (.5mb now) to make it more efficient. Any ideas?

Seems like Video Egg and Pinch Media are meant for established high volume traffic players. AdMob is more for true startups.

I hear you, so much to do, so little time. That's why I said your app is dangerous. People can easily sit there for a while going through the rumor mill instead of coding:)

Appreciate your offer, would love to have a few people to compare notes with on this. Right now working on getting our app through the door. Like your idea - dangerous time consume…

If you were a Yahoo employee (I'm not), you would leave now or stick it out until there's an acquisition? Is it likely for you to get a severance package offering or is that only i…
