Look at the age distribution for iPhones and iPod touches, as well as smart phones. You'll quickly be able to deduce the large amount (especially iPods) are minors, and here enlies the problem.

In other news, Microsoft copies Apple's lead in everything!

WOW. Are you freaking kidding me? A post that said 1984 and another post talking about Android? LOL. If this were an Apple article every one of the top 10 posts would be talking about how totalitarian Apple is, how much of a piece of shit Jobs is, and how any decent human being would boycott anything and everything Apple sells.

The bias here is hilarious but what I find even more hilarious is that people like you are so blind you can't even notice it. Here we have an article talking about MS doing the EXACT thing Apple is doing and the worst comment is "1984." Hilarious.

[citation][nom]dxwarlock[/nom]maybe 95% of the people using a phone for porn wouldn't use an app, they would use the browser.NO EDIT KEY STRIKES AGAIN.[/citation]

The difference here between Apple and Microsoft, as another reader pointed out is obvious. Microsoft's marketplace is not the ONLY point of distribution. Apple, on the other hand, is completely censoring content since they are the ONLY point of distribution for "iOS." If it weren't, then I would care less about Apple's policies.

On an unrelated note, after seeing demos of Winphone 7 this past week, I can't say that I'm overly impressed. Android is still in my future.

But of course, with a browser, a person only needs to go to a porn site...

Apple pulled a Japanese APP in which you RIPPED (like paper) the clothes off of models / idols (cute girls)... in which they would have a swim suit on.

Stupid.

I think its stupid to ban the adult material...

but also.. cant you just wait to get home to look at porn on a much bigger screen?

 

[Regulas]

This article and the posts have me thinking of that hilarious South Park episode where the internet failed and they moved out west where it was still working. I think it was Kyles dad that was having severe porn withdraws. In the end the internet was a giant modem, LOL.

^ You can watch porn on the Iphone via browser dude.

 

[slipdisc]

[citation][nom]killerclick[/nom]They know that you can access porn through a browser but if you buy an x-rated app from them there is an issue of liability. If you access a porn website though the browser it has nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.Remember how Rockstar Games got in trouble over the Hot Coffee mod? And it wasn't even their mod.[/citation]

You sure about that?
Rockstar Games, the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto series, initially denied allegations that the minigame was "hidden" in the video game, stating that the Hot Coffee modification (which they claim violated the game's End User Licence Agreement) is the result of "hackers" making "significant technical modifications to and reverse engineering" the game's code.[3] However, this claim was undermined when a hacker known as N.A.V.A.I.D G, on July 12, 2005, released an "Action Replay Power Save" for the Xbox console, and codes for the PlayStation 2 Action Replay game enhancer that allowed the scenes to be accessed in each of the console versions. These new methods of accessing "Hot Coffee" demonstrated that the controversial content was, indeed, built into the console versions as well.

Nooooooooooooooo not the porn!

eh, i'll just put it on the old fashioned way

or just use my phone the way it should and just keep my porn on the computer like a normal person

[citation][nom]TA152H[/nom]It's kind of strange for Microsoft, which has become very respected in porn loving circles for their porn surfer known as Bing. I wonder why these companies feel like this is a good business decision. I guess there are a lot of parents who are concerned about this and they are buying the phones. Nothing else makes much sense. I guess it is very common for parents to buy these types of phones for kids, and porn is a big deterrent.[/citation]
It's all marketing, they all know it means nothing since the phones have browsers, it's all to kiss up to the stupid parents thinking they are smart and getting a phone that "doesn't allow porn" for their kids. If any of them find out about the browser and porn Apple and MS will just say they can't control the internet but their own app stores are clean, that is the reason they are doing it.

[citation][nom]Zinosys[/nom]We all point to android, yet unlike the apple articles, no one is accusing MSFT of being totalitarion, dictatorial, and sonofabitchy.:?[/citation]

This is where we differ in thought. Microsoft, Apple, and Android can say no porn apps in our store, and that is perfectly acceptable. Why we bash apple is you cant get apps anywhere else unless you void your warranty. Android lets you run unsigned apps, The old windows phones let you run unsigned apps. Where Microsoft will have a problem is if they decide to no let you install apps that arnt purchased through their store.

Ah, I love to see Apple providing us more freedom from things that are scary and frightening. I mean, won't somebody think of the children! What if they see Janet Jackson's nip slip on the iPhone? They'll forever link exotic pleasures with electronic gadgets and probably end up 16 years old with an unexplained groin electrocution.

I'm ok with this; as long as I can violently kill lots of people amid buckets of blood and gore, I don't need to see boobies.

 

[fulle]

It makes sense to sensor porn, to eliminate liability.

It makes sense to have small fees for the devs, to filter out garbage apps. (An amateur that knows his app isn't good enough to be profitable won't submit a bad app).
