The 1.2 build of our AdSense iPhone App has just been submitted to the Appstore. It should be live within the next 7 days. Apple is always a bit slow with reviewing the updates. 
Changes include:
- Fixes for iOS4, now multi tasking support.
- Annoying white review window is gone.
- Renaming several Tabs for a more semantic layout
- Several crashes have been fixed.
- Privacy information updated. Thanks to Paul for pointing this out.
All in all I have to say it is a great release and you will really enjoy the app. We have done our best to make DuoSense even more useful for you.
DuoSense has come a long way already and the users really seem to like, especially because it’s free! If you don’t got your hands on our app yet, follow this link to our DuoSense app post.
However there are a couple of coding missteps which prevent us from using it to it’s maximum capabilities. Below is a short list of the most important fixes which are scheduled for the next update:
- iOS4 Fixes and multitasking support.
- Backwards version compability (before version 4.0)
- Faster loading speeds.
- Removing the nagging Feedback screen. A bug occured, this shall only appear once and instead link to the Appstore.
- Minor other bugs. Sometimes the App still crashes.
If you have feedback of your own on the app. Let us know by posting a comment below, or email us using the info in the sidebar.
We are also looking for further people interested in reviewing our app on their blogs.
Cheers,
Mark

This article is dedicated for discussing the question what background color AdSense publishers should use. Probably one of the biggest factors determining your CTR is the color of the background. Read further if you want to know what the best background color for AdSense is.
Smiling Cat says: Blend your Background!
The default settings for AdSense is a white background #FFFFFF (six times F). The problem arrises if your websites has a different background color or even worse; a gradient like the below example.
Blending your background color basically means that you take the same color as your website’s overall background color. Most websites are already colored white, but some tend to have a grey gradient which makes the ad stand out and therefore might suffer from banner blindness. Not only that, but it makes your website look less professional.
Go with the flow!
Depending on your website’s layout and niche. Always try to place your ads there where there is no gradient on the background. AdSense does not provide that kind of coloring for your ad units. While most websites are white anyway, so that wouldn’t be such a huge problem. If you really are into optimizing your revenue, there is no way to go around but changing your website’s layout/colors to adjust to that of what is capable with AdSense.
Now a question for you: Do you make your ad stand out by choosing a different color than your website’s background color, or do you blend your ads with the content?
