Jobs Endorsing Google for Adult Apps

It is common knowledge that the Apple App Store has been undergoing regular spring cleaning to get rid of adult related apps, template-made apps as well as those infringing on copyright (remember the “Pad” issue?). This has apparently been bugging a few diehard Apple supporters and has motivated one of them to send a message to Mr. Steve Jobs himself.

Matthew Browing said that he has been “starting to have a philosophical issue with the company” because of the strict policing of available apps for download. He has suggested that Apple was not there to zone in on every app that comes along, but rather, should devote their time to making more of the gadgets he loves. Matthew is an avid Apple supporter and has listed purchasing four iPhones, two computers and a number of other random Apple products since his first iPhone 3G purchase. This is what he wrote in his letter to Jobs:

“I’m all for keeping porn out of kids hands. Heck – I’m all for ensuring that I don’t have to see it unless I want to. But… that’s what parent al controls are for. Put these types of apps into categories and allow them to be blocked by their parents should they want to. Apple’s role isn’t moral police – Apple’s role is to design and produce really cool gadgets that do what the consumer wants them to do.”

And being the kind of guy to randomly answer personal inquiries, a message came from the public address of Steve Jobs himself:

“Fiore’s app will be in the store shortly. That was a mistake. However, we do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone.”

There is no telling whether the policies implemented are truly permanent, but as of now, those looking for adult apps will just have to knock at Google’s door.
