In lieu of their recent decision, we actually received an influx of new developers registering on MiKandi – The World’s First Adult Only Mobile App Store on Android devices. Many more have expressed their interest to port their recently banned adult apps over to Android (can’t wait to see all the goodies!). Later this year we’ll be available across multiple platforms (Jailbroken iPhone at the top of the list).

For those interested, this is a great alternative market place for adult app content. We don’t have censorship or heavy restrictions like other App Stores. As long as it’s legal, it’s good to go. So for those that have had apps rejected from Apple’s App Store, you’re more than welcome to publish your content on MiKandi! =)

MiKandi – The App Store that treats you like an Adult

Drinking the kool-aid? Perhaps.

Succumbed to the Apple RDF? Almost certainly.

…but this prudish censoring of apps reminiscent of 17th century colonial America is just too much for me. I can no longer stand behind a company that assumes this level of control. Until Apple reforms their policies, they won’t get another cent from me.

If kids weren’t given these devices then parents wouldn’t have to worry about what they were using them for.

It’s sort of like handing your child a handgun and then demanding that stores stop selling bullets because your child has a gun. Or giving your child a car and demanding gas stations stop selling gas because your child has a car.

The way I see it Apple was forced to censor the app store because irresponsible parents were allowing their children unrestricted access to the app store.

Way to go.

To those of you that run around claiming moral high ground on this, the issue is that many people are shocked when a company begins to remove previously approved software from their devices. Yes Apple has the right to do what ever they want with their device, and Google can (and will) remove any app from their store that they want to.

The big difference is that Google allows for 3rd party marketplaces to be installed on their device, and Apple doesn’t.

noun
the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts : details of the visit were subject to military censorship.

Does multi touch work with the iBoob app?

Oh please. If the iphone was so great, where was picture messaging for it? Why were there so many many posts when Pandora was made available to the iPhone from owners whining “I love pandora, but I hate that the music gets interrupted if I want to send a text, open another app, blah blah blah”

The iPhone is pretty, easy enough for a 5 year old to use (is that REALLY a plus?!?), and….well, that’s about it.

Remember how Ford made cars available to the everyday joe, because they were functional, fairly inexpensive, and ‘reliable’? Does that mean Ford remained the innovator so many years later? Or was it improved on by other car manufacturers?

Unless you’ve pulled the notification blind down to access a phone call already in progress, while checking your notes on a sticky pad, getting a number from a text message, used navigation while driving (pumping through your car speakers) while playing Pandora or Slacker or LastFM you really have no freakin clue as to how limited the iPhone is.

Get this iphone fanboys:
The iPhone / AT&T brags you can surf the net while talking on the phone, BUT Android allows you to do that too IF it had a different carrier. That does not make the iPHone itself special.
AND
Android (Droid) can multitask, and it has nothing to do with the carrier…the iPhone cannot.

So essentially AT&T’s commercials are not supportive of the iPhone but their network, and Droid Does.

Apple is censoring their app store, no question about it. And typical, is its supporters defending it, because they’re so brainwashed into thinking it’s either this way or that way (I can run either this app, or that app) when in fact you can have it both ways by doing what Tom posted.

If the iPhone is for the unwashed masses (anyone, even a FIVE year old can use it!!!drool), then Android is for the more sophisticated users.

Eat it apple.

It’s Apple’s app store. They can do what they want up there. But what’s the alternative if you disagree with Apple and their closed system policy?

Simple. Don’t buy iProducts.
