Post your comments for App Store adult content: Now you see it, now you don't here

Apparently, it wasn't Apple that stopped the app. It was the developer.
This article tells of Apple removing it, but contains an update from the developer.

Perhaps the article here should be checked.

And how would you know about its content Dan? hem hem

"Apple’s worked hard to cultivate a family-friendly image ..."
Yeah well there wouldn't even be any families if it weren't for naked women. Did they ever think of that?

[rab777hp]

There wouldn't be families without top-less women? Whoa- i never learned that one!

[sfriesen]

Keep it out, in the name of Jesus! The last thing the world needs is a few million iphones with porn content.

[ChrisLJ]

Not top-less women - naked women.

You keep your socks on, don't you?

[sigzero]

Nice was to RESEARCH an article.

[ChrisLJ]

Harumph! It is not porn. It is art!

Typical scenario in America. Swearing & violence is ok, but sex is not. How is allowing the purchase of Friday the 13th Killer Cut better than a nude woman? Ridiculous.

[melgross]

It's the religious right in the country. Let's face it, the only sex they like is when one of their own commits adultery.:D

Moren, are you guys going to update the story?

What with the amount of porn on the web itself do we REALLY need "An App For That"?

[ceej]

Apple is already taking a PR hit for this app, and they didn't even "approve" it with this content. CNN.com, on their front page, has the provocative headline, "Apple approves soft-core porn for iPhone."
(We need not debate here the "quality" of CNN.com reporting and headline writing.)
As far as the "reporting" at PCWorld referenced in an earlier comment
(http://www.pcworld.com/article/167383/updateapplepullshottestgirlspornappfrom)
I am a bit more skeptical of that report than what is printed here. The PCWorld story says that the developer himself asked Apple to pull the software. That may or may not be true (I suspect its not) and it's certainly a self-serving comment. Better that you told Apple to pull your app than to have Apple yank your app after you pulled a fast-one.
The PCWorld story also says, and other news outlets are reporting, that the app was approved today, implicitly with Apple's knowledge that it provided access to nudity, and then "sold out."
My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that this app has existed in its current form for some time. The content, the images of scantily-clad women (God love 'em) is delivered to the app via the Internet. Today, the developer of the previously approved app started serving up topless and nude photos as well. The news hit the web, and now you can't get the app anymore. That's a different story, and certainly not as flashy and headline grabbing as "Apple approves porn for iPhone. App "sells out.""
