Suck Battery Life
This is probably gonna suck down the battery like nothing other. Think about it video running on your phone pretty much all time after this idea takes off. I mean everyone gonna want to have ads. You'll walk past a newspaper stand and it'll give you a video saying buy the latest magazine from so and so, or you walk past a 7-11 and it'll say buy the new big gulp for 30 cents. Pretty soon they will have coupons coming to your phone that you can use.

Now, that coupon thing wouldn't be that bad. If I was at 7-11 and a coupon came out of my phone and saved me a dollar, I'd be pretty happy.

all they would have to do is synq registers with bluetooth. Then you can use your bluetooth to upload your coupon to the register =P

Unless registers are able to plug into an additional port for a bluetooth mechanism, it will be a long time until you see small businesses and gas stations alike trade in their old registers for one with bluetooth compadability. It's benefiting the product companies-not the actual businesses. That's why I'll see Pepsi ads when I go up to Cleveland, because its a huge coverage area. Not when I go to the local BP. (Nobody calls them 7-11s anymore) This isn't the 80's anymore, guys!
Another point is sound--if these ads have 1. sound 2. visual and 3. moving visual--that IS a whole lot of battery life and that better be considered, VERIZON!!!
I did my ranting for the day.
