steve obs tells purves to buy an android phone

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/04...id-iphone-porn


Steve Jobs has been answering his email again, this time responding to questions about Mark Fiore, the Pulitzer-Winning editorial cartoonist who had his app rejected back in December (but recently approved). A customer wrote in with some concerns about Apple's iron grip on the content iPhone owners are allowed to receive in app form, saying he had an issue with "the blocking of Mark Fiore's comic app (due to being political satire) or blocking of what Apple considers to be porn"

Jobs jumped right on the "porn" part of the complaint, writing "We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone ... Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone." That's not just Steve in a bad mood, either. He also called out Android's porn apps earlier this month during the Q&A for iPhone OS 4.0, where he said that on Android, "Your kids can download porn. That's a place we don't want to go."

Of course, Apple itself makes the ultimate iPhone porn app, and bundles it for free with every device. It's called Safari, and I wouldn't be too surprised if Steve has given it a try. He's got nothing to lose by taking the high ground, though, because for every porn fiend who actually cares whether "there's an app for that," 2 or 3 parents will think of the iPhone as a more kid-friendly choice
