CNN recently released their first App to Apple's App Store for iPhones and iPod Touch. Boasting Live Video capabilities, push notifications and other features, CNN is showing that they really have planned out their new app for folks. However, at $1.99, many are complaining about the banner ads that appear in the app.

Most apps are free in the App Store, and also carry ads. People don't really mind the ads in the application, as they really don't get in the way of using the app. However, a lot of folks agree that paying for an app should allow you to get away from the ads. CNN has decided to go the opposite direction and users are not happy about it.

Personally, I agree with everyone else, since if you're paying for an app that should be your advertising dollars. But we do see advertising in other paid mainstream media so this might be something we're going to see in the future.
