That settles the issue for me. I will NOT be buying an iPhone.

[citation][nom]ct1615[/nom]are you people retarded? Click on the link, its some guy who put an app together while living in his mother's basement. You can not sell a product using images you do not have rights to.[/citation]
you're just upset you didnt think of charging people 2 bucks for shit they could easily google

This isn't a question of censorship or a matter of control. Apple is simply trying to keep their store appropriate for their target market. This is no different than common retail stores such as Walmart, Best Buy, or Kroger's refusing to carry pornography. As long as any of these organizations allow other outlets to carry their own choice of material, be it pornography or otherwise, then these organizations should be allowed the same freedom themselves.

Probably the more questionable practice on Apple's part is the fact that they won't let you use your bought-and-paid-for iPhone how you want to (hence the popularity of jailbreaking them). More importantly, they prevent competing stores from selling applications for the iPhone (correct me if I'm wrong about this).

The issue isn't one of censorship. They have the right to dictate what products they carry in their store, and it's no different from what every other retail store in America already does. The issue is, instead, one of anti-competitive behavior.

you forgot to mention OSX only on "Apple Hardware".
It's what Apple's always done, just in the last few years its become more evident as they got more attention.

Is it just me, or is Jane injecting her offended feelings into these articles? She always has a negative tone towards what she calls the "iPorn" app (which is fine), but then seems more favorable towards the "hottest guys" app (not iPorn now?), and even provides a download link for it. Anyone else notice?

Why anyone would find the need to look at porn on their phone in the first place is beyond me but why they would pay for something that is so easily accessible free is mind bottling.[/citation]
Cause that pr0n is/was Apple approved, high end porn for iPhone/iTouch (oh..never mind) crowd.
