App Store developer Jason Ting has released data on iAd revenue from the first day of sales for a “utility app” that was released just yesterday, clocking in nearly $1,400 in revenue on an astounding “eCPM” of nearly $150. The data appears to be from Ting’s LED Light for iPhone 4 Free , which was part of a series of apps approved by Apple yesterday that can control the iPhone 4’s LED camera flash on the rear of the device for use as a flashlight. Ting’s application is available in both a paid version and the iAd-supported version for which he has provided data. CPM, which stands for “cost per mille” (”mille” = “thousand” in Latin), is a commonly-used metric in advertising used to benchmark the relative cost of ads per thousand “impressions”, or times the ad is loaded
