Interestingly, though, he also says that Playboy content will be coming to the iPad, which suggests it will utilize iOS's upcoming subscription support. If all that wasn't cool enough, and further confusing Apple's stance on adult content, Hugh also confirmed that his entire opus of porn will be uncensored. Historically, Apple has been incredibly tight when it comes to nudity and sexuality -- but, rather incongruously, the Playboy and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit apps have always remained unscathed. Neither of those apps have full frontal nudity, though, so an uncensored Playboy for iPad app could be a sign that Apple's puritanical policing is being relaxed. Read More

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Feb 23, 2010 | Apple Senior VP of Marketing, Phil Schiller, was quoted by the New York Times in an article on the removal of 5000 sex-based app from the iTunes App Store: “It came to the point where we were getting customer complaints from women who found the content getting too degrading and objectionable, as well as parents who were upset with what their kids were able to see.” To developers who weren’t afforded any warning or options to pre-emptively make changes where such changes would have been possible: “We obviously care about developers, but in the end have to put the needs of the kids and parents first.” As to why Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit app, the Playboy app, and a few other publication-associated apps were allowed to remain: “The difference is this is a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted Read More

One of the new rules is no more bikini apps, unless you happen to be Sports Illustrated (or FHM or Playboy). Sports Illustrated, for instance, just released its 2010 Swimsuit app on iTunes on February 9, before the ban really started. The SI Swimsuit app is filled with pictures of bikini-clad models. If you fire up iTunes right now, you will see the SI Swimsuit app being promoted on the main App Store homepage. It is currently the No. 1 Read More

Sports Illustrated took a different approach with this year’s SI Swimsuit iPhone app.  Instead of charging an upfront cost like they did last year, leaving curious consumers with the burden of having to make a purchasing decision without getting a taste of the goods, they decided to offer the app for free, albeit in limited form. SI Swimsuit 2010, in its free form, features a single photo from each of SI’s top models along with their respective bios and the ability to save each photo to your camera roll to use as you please.  It also features just a handful of model videos. This may be enough to satisfy some of you, but Sports Illustrated is hoping it is only enough to tease you and force you into upgrading to the premium version for a one-time in-app purchase of $1.99, which unlocks every last bit of content available in the app, including: Read More
