Did you see Hef's tweets about Playboy coming to the iPad? And it's gonna be uncensored!
What's with that, anyway? I mean, sure ... Steve Jobs is on medical leave, but he still makes the rules, right?
The media world has been all aflutter about how Apple bending its rules on nudity in apps. People are up in arms about more deserving porn producers, and how dare Apple say they put "freedom from porn" before freedom of speech and that there will never be a porn app on Apple gadgets. But is Apple really opening their iron grip up for Playboy?
The answer, in a word, is no.
In response to the combined outrage and excitement, a Playboy spokesperson released this statement:
“We are releasing a web-based subscription service with Bondi Digital Publishing that will give users access to every issue of Playboy both past and present. The service will be iPad compatible and will utilize iPad functions.
“We also have plans to release a non-nude version of a Playboy-branded iPad app in the coming months that adheres to all of Apple’s policies and guidelines.”
So no app, just yet. But uncensored access, nonetheless.
