The Sun Jumps onto the iPad Bandwagon

17 Jun 2010 | Apps | Angela Topchu on Google+

On July 15^th,The Sun launched its own iPad app, which can be purchased for a small fee. As you might expect from this tabloid, you can now view its page with girls on your iPad.

In its premiere edition you can view Chloe in all her splendor or upper part at least. She is quoted as saying, I know the importance of growth in key areas. Please note that she is allegedly referring to the British government’s growth figures, although, presumably the pun is intended.

It seems that The Sun has been exempted form Apple’s anti-obscenity rules, because downloading requires customers to confirm that they are 17 or over since the app contains age- restricted material’.

So that’s all right, then. There’s no access for honest under 17 year olds. They will just have to buy a copy of the newspaper as usual.

Sad as many other intimate apps are banned, while some applications are approved. Is it fair? And do we really need to make iPad apps with girls available officially? What about the no-porn rule created by Apple? There are so many questions left without answers.
