Abstract
A system and methods are disclosed whereby a mobile device is provided by one or more servers with unsolicited content. The mobile device stores the unsolicited material e.g. an ordered set of advertisements. A latency delay detector detects an imminent delay for the mobile device that then displays unsolicited items during the latency delay. Display is in screen whitespace and/or wallpaper areas, one item at a time in sequence, each for a predetermined period. Displayed items are purged after display and a user elects whether of not to receive unsolicited material.
