Canadian Android site AndroidTablets.ca is reporting an August 3rd launch date for the HTC Desire at Telus. The employee who confirmed the date in-store wasn’t able to give an exact price but quoted it as probably coming in under $100 for a 3-year deal. This goes against earlier leaked figures putting it at $299.95 on a three-year contract, quite pricey for a handset in today’s world of subsidized phones. Whether or not the August 3rd date will stick remains to be seen, but dummy units arriving in Telus stores indicate the phone will be launching soon regardless.

It looks like some of the new formats Google showcased at Google I/O are starting to make their way to the mobile ad-space. Display ads can now bring geo-targeted marketing to mobile browsers and apps. Advertisers simply check a “location extension for display” box and will utilize the mobile device’s location-sensing abilities to provided targeted ads that, when expanded, offer a Google Maps view of the location and two buttons: one for directions and one to call the establishment. While “locations extension” ads for mobile search are already offered, Google states that display ads with location can offer an 8 percent increase in click-through rates, and when ads feature a click-to-call function there is a 6 percent increase. While no one really wants to be bombarded with ads on every screen of their Android phone, at least location-aware ads might prove to be a bit more useful. I’d be much more likely to click-to-call an ad for a local pizza place than see something totally useless to me. [via TechCrunch ]
