iPhone App Store Just Says No to Nudity -- For Now?

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Jun 30, 2009 a 9:49 am

Last week the first iPhone (and iPod touch) app to feature nudity was live in the iTunes App Store. Technically, however, it was simply a change in the server behind the app -- the developer added nude images.
