AdMob's new iPhone ads are available immediately to

one of eight iPhone-specific actions. These actions take advantage of the
integration of applications on the iPhone to provide one-click access to:

-- iTunes: open the iTunes store and purchase music or video
content from iTunes

-- App Store: visit the App Store and download applications

-- Audio: listen to recorded or streaming audio content

-- Video: view video and share video with friends

-- Call: initiate a voice call

-- Maps: launch maps and display relevant locations near
that user's location
