Japanese operator shows ads in the notification area on their Android phones

You are not suspecting anything, walking along the street (imagine that it is summer, approx. Translator). Your phone starts to vibrate, you take the phone out of your pocket, unlock it, open the notification area to understand what is happening and, bang! .. advertising! Even the thought of such mockery is enough to make your blood boil with anger!

But no need to worry about the distant, bleak future of the Android platform - this future is already here! At least for some customers of the KDDI mobile operator in Japan. This operator preinstalls au one Market on some of its smartphones as an alternative to the standard Android Market. The latest au one Market update caused the phone to start showing ads as alerts. This feature is similar to Airpush.which, as they say, "did not go."

Of course, it is impossible to remove ads or remove this au one Market by standard means. What makes this innovation for most users an unforgivable mockery.

And finally, a comment for our Russian OPPS: Do not even think about it!
